Staff Nurse/Student

A philosophy is the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, realities and existence especially when considered as an academic discipline. A set of views and theories of a particular philosopher concerning such study or an aspect of it. The ethical values I hold are respect, autonomy, beneficience, non-malficence, justice, veracity and fidelity. Others around me find that I treat my patients with the up most respect at all times. When I have patients that tell me not to change, I feel proud that I became a nurse so that I can help others. I give my patients freedom of choice and I try my best to prevent harm. The theories that I consider using in my practice is the Watson’s Philosophy of Nursing and Caring.
