PERSONAL NURSING PHILOSOPHY

Your personal philosophy of nursing does exist, even if you have never articulated it before. Your personal nursing philosophy is the foundation of your day-to-day nursing practice. Your nursing philosophy reflects the principles from which you conduct your thinking and your behavior. Development of a personal nursing philosophy is not merely an academic exercise, but rather can guide you in the daily decisions you make as a professional registered nurse. It will be beneficial for you to complete this assignment and then to review and revise your personal nursing philosophy from time to time.
