My core values and beliefs are that one is to be empathetic, attentive, diligent, and just. A nurse must be empathetic and be able to put themselves in the patient’s shoes. For example, a nurse must ask, “If I were in this situation, how would I like to be treated?” A nurse must be attentive to certain details. A nurse must pay attention to both verbal and non-verbal ques. A nurse must be diligent and must work herd at managing the cases presented as well as the tasks that are assigned. Lastly, a nurse must be just and fair in every situation, remaining unbiased when analyzing cases.
With all of the responsibility that comes with the position of being a nurse, self- awareness is imperative. A nurse must know how they identify themselves and what culture they relate to. They must understand and be aware of these values, customs, and beliefs that they have so that they can assess their readiness to take on the challenges that will be inevitable.
Nursing is more than a profession. It is the mindset and understanding of selflessness as well as the importance of patient advocacy and care.
