Personal Philosophy of Nursing As a Registered Nurse and a Health Care Provide, I impact and influence patients and the people around me. It is important to know what your philosophy is and how you integrate that into how you care for and work with people. In my paper, I want to write about why I became a nurse, what I believe about nursing and where I think the profession is headed. Choice of Nursing I worked in health care for several years prior to becoming a nurse. My first health care job was as a pharmacy tech in a retail pharmacy.
Registered Nurse Do you remember being a child and constantly being asked “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Well I was the kid that always gave a different answer every time. I was always undecided regarding the career that I wanted to pursue. As I got older I realized that I wanted to have a career in the medical field. Being a nurse interests me because it requires the study of the human body, it is respected and because I find fulfillment in being able to help those who are in need. Once I started researching a career in nursing I realized that there were a lot more types of nurses then I had originally imagined.

Although it is not possible to know every detail about every different cultural, it is expected that the nurse refresh or familiarize his/herself with the cultural and difference of their patients. With Jane, it is important that the nurse know that she typically does not eat regular American food or she likes to meditate every morning. There are several theories that are available to help understand why Jane acts different and looks at things differently that most people. Erickson’s adult growth and development theory explains that most people between the ages of 18 and 35 seek to find satisfying relationships. This may be with an intimate partner or friends.
The course work is very extensive, but the skills training is only average. Truly, this is my personal opinion, but I only came to this conclusion based on my personal experiences. As a clinical student, working at a local hospital with LPN students from a nearby community college, I was able to see how more advanced they were with their hands-on skills training. McNeese basically threw me in a lab, told me to watch a video, and learn to perform the certain skills after maybe on actual professor
7 of the text, and this week’s articles on cardiovascular health. Remember—you will come into contact with seniors from all walks of life, so write questions that are direct, yet friendly. Apply judgment when writing questions; you cannot possibly cover all forms of cardiovascular disease with one 10-question interview. Finally, imagine you are actually conducting the interviews within a retirement community when one interviewee says her sister has been diagnosed with a particular cardiovascular disease. She wants you to explain what must be done to treat the disease because her sister did not understand the doctor’s explanation.
In psychology their six different psychological approaches, which are; behaviourist perspectives, social learning theory, humanistic perspective, cognitive perspective, psychodynamic perspective and biological perspective. Behaviourist perspective is a method that is used to change behaviour in another person; this could be through rewarding them or punishing them. In a health setting a nurse who works in a rehab centre for drug addicts maybe be working with a patient who is an extreme addict, however the nurse maybe be struggling to try and get the patient to cooperate with her because he/she just wants to see their family due to being home sick. So because the nurse already knows this she may allow the patient to visit her family but that’s only if the patient agrees to work together so that he/she can end with better result. In a social care setting a young offender who is at an institution may want their time to there to be reduced, but because there behaviour is uncontrollable then that maybe be difficult, but if the young offender finds a way to improve his/her behaviour then there social carer and police officer would probably reduce their time at the institution depending they actually make positive changes in their behaviour.

Communication is important for provision of appropriate care by nurses. Over the past few years, media reports have suggested that nurses lacked compassion. I was placed at a rehabilitation hostel for people with mental health problems and I noticed that some junior nurses did not have assertive skills to deal with ‘difficult’ patients. I had an opportunity to witness a new admission and was surprised at how some nurses were only concerned about patients’ medical symptoms without listening to underlying causes of their illnesses. Consequently, I decided to focus my discussion on these three communication skills; compassion, assertiveness and listening skills.
Kayla Redd Western Governors 9/3/15 YOT2 Professional presence is kind of an indistinct idea. Prior to completing this course, I really did not consider what and how my nursing practice was defined by professional practice. As I ventured through this course, I learned what professional presence meant and how it affected my nursing practice. “Presence is an intersubjective encounter between a nurse and a patient in which the nurse encounters the patient as a unique human being in a unique situation and chooses to spend her/himself on the patient’s behalf’’ (Wingate, 2007).
