Importance Of Nursing Career In Nursing

My personal philosophy of nursing revolves around making this professional experience fulfilling for both myself and the patient through the realization of values and personal beliefs. To make nursing a fulfilling experience involves the continuous search for knowledge in the practice of nursing in order to improve the profession and benefit the patient. In the practice of nursing, the patient is the main center of attention. Therefore, the goal of nursing is to optimize the health of the patient through the continuum of health care. All efforts should be channeled towards achieving the patient’s well-being, providing quality care, and managing and treating the underlying disease condition.

However, one’s attitude towards incorporating and utilizing nursing standards in their practice is essential in determining its success or failure. Having an attitude of acceptance and valuing new ideas is something that I am beginning to acquire in my nursing practice. My positively changing attitude is applied to the leadership standard of nursing. Functioning effectively within a multi-faceted team requires open communication, shared decision making, and mutual respect. I am learning to have better leadership attitudes as it relates to appreciating the importance of collaboration between the multi-disciplinary medical team, respecting the unique qualities of each member, and acknowledging my own contributions to the effectiveness or dysfunction of the team.

I’m looking forward to preserve strong knowledge base, leadership skills and improve the evidence based practice skills to deliver positive patient outcomes. Caring is the best promising care you can provide for the patient. Every time nurse to patient contact is made, caring in nursing profession takes place. Caring is all about taking time to get to know your patient. Sadly ... ... middle of paper ... ...the knowledge and wisdom with others.

Taleghani, Alimohammadi, Mohammadi and Akbarian (2013) define nurses as individuals who are caring and fulfill the needs of individuals. In fact, nurses care for individuals of varying ages, with specific needs, requiring them to not only provide care but to provide individualized care. Rahim (2013), reports Nightingale’s definition of a nurse as a person that recognizes patients in need and assists them to reach their desired health status. Therefore, nurses are required to be multifaceted persons with proper education and clinical training. Through their many acts of caring, the nurse must be diverse and knowledgeable of various cultures, skilled clinically and knowledgeable of the most current scientific research.

These core values have sculpted me into the man I am today. Good communication and listening skills are invaluable in all health care systems and I pride myself in knowing that I will bring both of these skills to MSU’s College of Nursing. While in the nursing program, we will be interacting with fellow students, nurses, patients, and doctors. With my open personality and ability to work well with others I believe that these interactions will not only be positive, but productive as well. While in the program and after graduation, we will be working with patients from diverse backgrounds.

Every day brings more opportunity and more experiences. My most important contribution to nursing right now is my positive outlook on life, enthusiasm, and the ability to offer hope to patients and their families. The contribution I hope to make to nursing in the future is being a leader and mentor, and be an inspiration to others to enter into the nursing profession. I would also like to contribute to improving healthcare quality through becoming a nurse educator and share my knowledge and experience with

I have chosen a nursing career for many reasons, which include: the personal joy I receive in helping others, making a difference in the lives of my patients, and the experience and knowledge I would gain on a daily bases. When someone is in need, I can honestly say I am the person to go to. In order for someone to come to you, you want to make sure the person

Committing myself to lifelong learning is my second goal. Nurses need to cultivate and internalize a passion for learning throughout their careers, which provides a foundation for excellence in practice. I would like to become a Critical Care nurse since I work as a Health Technician in the ICU at the VA Hospital –Madison. I love taking care of people at their sickest. The intensity of the care and challenges presented at the job excite and motivate me.

Day-to-day events create opportunities where we can reflect, review and clarify what we have learned and extend our skill set as we advance while experiencing a broad range of similar clinical events. Through reflection and critical analysis I have been able to identify my strengths and weakness during clinical placements over the years. It has allowed me to begin a process of self-learning that will assist me in my professional and personal development. From my research project and this reflective assignment I have recognised the importance and value of this lifelong learning tool in health care practice as it will help provide a high quality of care and improve professionals’ confidence, decision making and actions.

I believe nursing is more then just a career, it is a lifestyle. Knowledge and skills are the foundation of nursing, however passion, compassion, and leadership are central to diligent nursing. My personal philosophy for nursing is to strive every day to be better then the last, to make a difference in myself and in others, and to never forget what it is like to be human; we all make mistakes and we can all learn from them. The foundation of nursing and nursing practice is demonstrated in the nursing metaparadigm which consists of nursing, person, health, and environment. Nursing consists of anyone under the department of nursing, such as the nurses and health care aids, and their role within health care.
