As a Hospice Nurse, I am practicing altruism on a daily basis. I am constantly advocating for my patients at the most vulnerable time in their life, without imposing my values on the patient. Autonomy is the freedom to make discretionary and binding decisions that are consistent within one’s scope of practice and the freedom to act on those decisions. (Frances Marcus Lewis R.N.,M.N.,Ph.D.) The training and education of the nurse has provided him or her with the requisite information and understanding to make independent decisions.
Reflective Account of supervised management placement. Introduction. The student nurse hopes with this assignment to allow the reader an insight into my experience during my management placement within a busy rehabilitation ward in Wishaw General. With the guidance and supervision of my mentor I participated in all areas of running a busy rehab ward. The student nurse will reflect on health promotion issues as this stood out to me in several areas, The student nurse discovered that although we can nurse a patient back to health it is so important to make the patient aware of how necessary it is for them to participate in their care by adhering to what is recommended to them by various members of the Multidisciplinary Team and the devastating consequences that the patient can encounter if advice is ignored.
Using Theory as Nurse Educator As a nursing educator, I can relate to Hersey and Blanchard’s situational theory at all levels of readiness. I see myself using low readiness level to mentor a new nursing employee during orientation to the facility, nursing department and the nursing unit. When new nurses are hired they go through the general orientation lead by the nurse educator. Due to the fact that the nurse is new to the environment, the nurse educator I explains by “telling’ the new nurse employees exactly where things are located, what kind of codes to use, how to use these codes, where other supplies could be located. At this stage the new employee is treated as new to the facility, it machines and it culture of operation.
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.
This love and passion assures the patient that you care and will be with them throughout their time of need. I believe that the focus of nursing is the patient. Patient’s come first and it should always be that way. As stated earlier, nurses cure the patient. Nurses spend the most time with the patients and it is the nurse’s job to notify the doctor if any changes occur throughout the hospital stay.

Teachers and Nurses Teachers, professors, nurses, or doctors are there ever really enough of these professionals? I chose to compare two careers options, nursing and teaching, for my informative essay. It is impossible to statistically compare these two careers. This is why I conducted interviews with a registered nurse and an elementary school teacher. During the interview process, I developed a series of questions I felt would be beneficial in comparing these two careers such as nature of work, salaries, and qualifications.
