Each of these factors has influenced my philosophy for not only nursing but also how I live my life. The first factor that has impacted my lifestyle and my personal philosophy is the way I was raised by my parents. I was raised in a traditional Christian home in which my parents were a great example to my faith. The second factor that has influenced my beliefs is my mother. I have always admired her compassion towards others and her commitment to serve people that needed help.
In my nursing class, I learned that doctors cure the sickness and nurses cure the patient. This means that the nurse attends to the physical, mental, and psychosocial aspects in the care of patients. Some days can be demanding on the mind and body, but you can still go home and be grateful of what you have done for someone else. I believe that the core of nursing is love and passion for others. Without this love and passion, why is one in nursing.
Dr. Anderson displays a strong foundation of counseling through truth and having a relationship with Christ. Other web based articles were used to support the theory of Anderson’s book.

Christian Counseling to the Spiritually Oppressed Discipleship is receiving instruction from a religious leader and being a follower who has learned to believe in the truth of the doctrine of his teacher. Discipleship in today’s world can be in the form of a Christian counseling.
An Overview on My Personal Philosophy of Nursing The basis of this paper is to look into the personal nursing philosophy I have conceptualized while exploring my beliefs and values in my nursing career. I plan to convey why I choose this profession and what I believe the core of nursing is and what it should be. I believe the nature of nursing is rooted in commitment to public service and the undeniable desire to help those in need. Nursing is more than treating an illness; rather it is focused on delivering quality patient care that is individualized to the needs of each patient My philosophy of nursing incorporates the knowledge of medicine while combining it with relational, compassionate caring that respects the dignity of each patient. My philosophy is one that focuses on the empowerment each patient in the delivery of holistic nursing care.
My road to becoming a Nurse Practitioner has been a very enlightening one. As a child and young adult if you ever told me I would end up being a nurse I would have laughed. I had no desire to being involved in the care of others. I hated the site of blood or any other trauma. I married young and was going to be a stay at home mom while I decided what else I wanted to do with my life.
My Personal Philosophy of Nursing Submitted by Ivan J. Quinones, RN In partial fulfillment of the requirements of Transition to Professional Nursing N3645 Jeanean Boyd, MSN, RN June 1, 20 Introduction For this assignment I was given the task of articulating into words my personal philosophy of nursing. It is not an easy task to put into words what you do daily as second nature. First, I explain why I chose nursing as a profession. Then I explain what the “core of nursing” is for me; followed by my beliefs and values about patients, family, health care providers and my own health. I also explain my vision for my future in nursing.
Word Count: 107 My own personal worldview has been developed over a long time. Most children gain their parents worldview but I have made sure to seek outside people to help mold my view. First and foremost the most important thing to my view is Jesus Christ. Every action I make is filtered by the question “does this make me more like Jesus?” Next I filter things through my experiences. God has put me through certain things for a reason so the need to learn from them is important.
Until the question arose, “How can I be a positive influence for my children if I have given up on the goals I had set for myself?” I could not. After coming to this realization, I began to idealize who it was I wanted to be. At this time in my life, becoming a nurse had never crossed my mind. Circumstances led me to nursing school at the age of 25 years old with three young children. It is ironic how many times I heard “I always knew you were going to be a nurse,” from all of my family and friends when I had never even considered nursing as a career.
Nursing philosophy “identifies what is believed to be the basic or central phenomena of the discipline, relates nursing to a particular world view, and provides some information on how one may come to learn about the world”. (p. 13, Salsberry, 2008). My personal philosophy of nursing evolved over the years and includes my observations, beliefs, thoughts, and practices. The purpose of this paper is to discuss my personal philosophy of nursing and the personal and professional experiences that have contributed to the development of my view of nursing. Nineteen ninety-four was a significant year for me; it was the year I began volunteering at the local children's hospital.
She thought that was the best idea and would tell me all of the wonderful things nurses would do. Naturally I lo e helping people and as a child I knew that grandma also knew. We would play pretend and I was always the nurse and she was always my patient. So even from a very young age I have been told and encouraged to grow and do wonderful things with my life and if being a nurse is what I wanted then that’s what I could be. As I grew older I would always love to watch the Discovery Channel, watching Discovery Health and a show Called Birthday.
