Philosophy of Nursing

My personal philosophy of is nursing is that nurses have the responsibility to advocate for clients, provide safe patient-centered care, and promote wellness. Advocating for clients helps to protect clients from harm, promotes autonomy, and protects their dignity. In providing safe- patient centered care, a nurse should communicate amongst the interdisciplinary team. Strong, and effective communication ensures that the health care professionals involved in the care of the client, the client, and the family are kept informed every step of the way while providing care and provides greater outcomes. Through promoting wellness, nurses have the opportunity to educate and inform clients on ways to prevent exacerbations of diseases, and prevent the occurrence of new ones.
