My philosophy of nursing is that we need to work together as a collaborative team to continuously improve and maintain the wellbeing of our clients, families and our communities.  In order to accomplish this task we need knowledge, skills and critical thinking. Without critical thinking and prioritization skills a nurse knowledge is inadequate.   As nurses we need to always focus on the patient’s needs and continue to be their advocates within the interdisciplinary team.  Encouraging patient’s autonomy will improve nurse patient relationship and allow patient to follow medical treatment.
