Nursing: My Personal Philosophy Of A Nurse

My philosophy in nursing is that it is important for one to carry their personal, moral, ethical values with them at all times. Nurses have a duty to serve the community to deliver a harmless, holistic, patient-centered care. Patients should be treated fairly and equally according to their cultural customs. They should all be cared for regardless of whether they are rich or poor; as long as a patient requires medical services, they should be attended without any prejudice. Patients are human beings and not just a room number or medical conditions.
