PERSONAL NURSING PHILOSOPHY PAPER

PERSONAL NURSING PHILOSOPHY PAPER

This assignment involves writing a statement (as soon to be nurses) on your values, beliefs, and ethics regarding the care and treatment of patients. A philosophy of nursing begins by identifying and highlighting the beliefs that you believe are essential to the nursing profession.
Although you are not yet a nurse and your philosophy will evolve over time, writing your personal nursing philosophy can be a valuable educational and reflective experience. To complete this assignment, first explore the nursing metaparadigm, which includes four key concepts that nurses agree make the profession unique: Person, environment, health, and nursing. Next, write a three (3) page (double-spaced, APA
format without a cover page) paper that includes: (1) the four key concepts; (2) nursing as an art and a science; (3) a relevant nursing theory that will serve as a guide to your patient practice in a clinical setting.
