There are 7 key values that guide the NHS in everything they do. The 7 key values are: working together for patients, respect and dignity, commitment to quality of care, compassion, improving lives and everyone counts (NHS constitution, 2015). These key values are in place so that, when providing quality of care they have basic requirements for all NHS staff.
BSN Essential VIII is about professionalism and professional values. Professionalism is very important in nursing practice and defined as the demonstration of core values that directly relate to nursing profession. First core value, that related to nursing practice is altruism. Altruism is the ability of oneself to be selfless and have a dedication to the welfare of others. In nursing practice, altruism is a main key characteristic that needs to be present within the relationship between nurse and her patient to ensure and secure appropriate care and a healing environment.

Nurses should strive for the utmost dignity and respect for all of the patients and their families. They should also treat everyone the same way, so that every person is treated equally. Aspiring nurses should be an advocate for the family when the times get tough because life eventually comes to an end and they may need emotional support from time to
Once I get report on a patient that is non-English, I immediately setup for the interpreter to come out so I can complete my initial assessment. I feel that, having a way to interpret communication between the nurse and patient leads to higher quality of
Every nursing, in order to consider the profession must have an understanding of at least three of the five professional values, in my opinion. These values consist of altruism, autonomy, human dignity, integrity and social justice (Taylor 96). Beginning with the professional value of Altruism, the believe in or practice and self concern for the well-being of others (96). I believe that in order to be the best nurse you can be for your patients, you must understand the concept of altruism. As a nurse, your profession is to take care of people, if you do not know the professional value of altruism than you cannot possibly understand how important it is to care about the wellbeing of your patient.
The professional nursing values I believe are things you can be taught and some you cannot. Nurses are special individuals who ultimately want to care for and help others as much as they can. I agree with all of these values and believe some I will need to work on myself such as competence, illness prevention and patient education. Others I believe I have based on my experience I have already had while caring for others. Some of the qualities I believe I have include: caring, compassion, dependability, empathy, focusing on the patient- defining quality of life, having a holistic patient centered care, kindness, openness to learning, respect for others their dignity and worth and sensitivity.
My Personal Philosophy and Values of Nursing Nursing is proving care, support, and serve people who are in need. The purpose of nursing is to improve patient 's health condition to a better life.

Human experimentation has been a “Bunsen-burner” debate topic since the dawn of medical experimentation. In today’s society, years of scientific data and studying are necessary before medical experiments can be brought to human trials, but that doesn’t stop it from being controversial. Whether or not human experimentation should be allowed is widely debated, some claiming it’s necessity to medical science and well-being of society, while others argue it takes advantage of the individual for a societal need that isn’t necessarily a right. In is piece Philosophical Reflections on Human Experimentation, Hans Jonas argues against the exploitation of human subjection to medical experimentation. Jonas recognizes that medical experimentation is required for our base of scientific
The essential beliefs and principles that influence our behaviour, decisions, and actions are referred to as core values (Montgomery, 2023). Effective communication and taking accountability are two values that I feel are the most important to me and throughout nursing and something I feel I can bring to the profession. These two values are essential when it comes to delivering person centred care and forming relationships with patients and families as a nurse. Personal and professional relationships all contribute to patient-centred care. As a result, attempts to enhance patient-centred care should consider the patients and their families (Epstein and Street, 2011).
There are 5 professional values that are associated with the description of a nurse. The first professional value of nursing is altruism. Altruism can describe someone who is unselfish, concerned, and devoted to helping others in need. The beauty of being a nurse is that nurses are caregivers to all.
A nurse must keep up to date on education and new processes in health-care, so they can provide the best care. As a nurse, you have promised to give each of your patients the best care that can possibly be given. Nurses must follow a code of ethics, to act safely, provide ethical care no matter how they feel about the patient or the reason they are in your care. Following this code of ethics shows your commitment to caring for people and society, it is a guide of ethics and standards to follow to keep everyone safe. Nursing is also a wonderful opportunity to meet hundreds of people from almost every nationality and every walk of life.
My values as a nurse are based on displaying characteristics of compassion, empathy, respect, reliability, integrity, knowledge, and trustworthiness. Each of these qualities will help me provide safe, patient centered, nonbiased, competent care to each of my patients. I believe that it is imperative to provide nonjudgmental care to everyone
Nursing is a responsibility to provide the finest care regardless of the patient’s age, race, religion, sex, disability, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or their past. Nurses must keep up to date on education, new processes, policies and keep informed about new laws and regulations in healthcare, so outstanding healthcare can be administered. As a nurse, you have undertaken a responsibility to provide people the finest quality care that can possibly receive. It is a nurses’ duty to follow the code of ethics, to act
Providing care to a patient is a particularly challenging process that requires a great deal of effort from a nurse. A nurse’s ability to give quality care to their patient is an important aspect to a patient’s life both now and in the future. As such, nurses must exhibit specific qualities in their practice in order to maintain the best standard of care for their patients. Given this, I believe that the standards of knowledge, advocacy, and self-awareness are foundational to the nursing practice and to a nurse’s capacity to provide quality patient care. Knowledge
