As an advocate, caregiver, and collaborator, nurses should provide holistic care that focuses on both the patient and their family. It is important to recognize, respect, and accommodate the individual needs of each patient. To provide ethical and competent care, nurses should balance their professional growth by continuing their education to deliver quality patient care. In order to persevere through nursing challenges, collaboration, communication, empathy, and strive is fundamental to improve oneself in practice. Through effective teaching of disease prevention and health promotion, I hope to make a difference within my community one patient at a time.
