I believe nursing is a profession based on compassion for people, and caring for vulnerable individuals. My philosophy is that caring for patients should transcend any personal bias or opinions a nurse has. An individual going into nursing should have a calling for nursing so that their ‘job’ doesn’t feel like a job, a nurse should have the passion for helping someone when they are most vulnerable and dependent.
Nursing is more than treating the symptoms of diseases, it is important to prevent and spread awareness of a healthy lifestyle. A healthy lifestyle includes regular exercise and eating nutritious food. I think it is important to focus on methods of prevention of diseases to educate patients and families. Regular exercise and a balanced diet have the power to prevent disease and fuel the body properly.
