Purpose of Assignment
The purpose of this assignment is to enable the student to discover his or her personal philosophy of nursing, as it exists at the beginning of the academic journey toward the BSN.
Student Approach to Assignment
My approach to writing this paper involved a personal examination and reflection to gain insight into the values, characteristics and beliefs that guide my life and career. It allowed me to look at my approach to nursing and to determine the qualities I believe all professional nurses should possess. Through the process of writing the paper I realized that I do have a personal philosophy of nursing and it guides the care I provide to my patients and their families everyday. It gave me a better understanding of myself personally and professionally.
