I am working hard to high achieves academies and high grades . I am very compassionate and caring person that loves been there for people when they are at worst and need care most. I have enough experience as a caregiver in the health care field in private homes and governmental shelters as well as in some facilities. My clients were Infants, toddlers,people with physical disability and people with mentally high need, such as dementia, seizure and epilepsy.I enjoyed my time with them which is more, motivated me to go to the nursing field and I am also a suicide interventionist. I used to help my clients administrate their med, personal hygiene and make sure they are in a safe environment all the time. So in addition to my academics those personal strengths and experiences will help me to reach my goals. After graduation I would like to work in acute care unit and continuing my education to the high level. Also i would like to do some volunteer work.
Personal Philosophy of practical nursing
My philosophy of nursing is that nursing is a profession of providing safe, holistic care by going above and beyond the call duty to provide medical assistance with respect and dignity.Nurses are always at the frontline to protect, promote prevent illness and injury, alleviate suffering, and advocate in health care for individuals, families, communities, and populations. Nurses have full responsibility to provide safe and courageous environment by proving nonjudgmental environment to those who are in need regardless of race, disability, believes, income at all levels. I believe practical nursing is profession, which provides care while respecting and treating patients with dignity . Also i believe with out compassion we can't feel, understand and comfort the patients. So being compassionate give as a strength to become caring , supportive and kind in every situations we face. I would like to become responsible nurse that always their for her patients to achieve their health and a nurse that always remember for her positive work.
Standards of practice
The standards of practical in nursing is very important because i have to know and understand as it’s my guide and tool to what level or scope i can go. According to Canadian Nurse Association (2008), nurse should be “knowledgeable, accountable, keeping patients safety, continued competency, collaborate and take effective leadership”. In order to be a successful nurse we need to follow and meet these standards of practice in nursing. By following and meet those standards workplace become more productive, organize, easy and peaceful. So we can able to create comfortable working environment with patients by delivering excellent health practice and providing a better atmosphere.
Value
I am an active learner and adapt to a new environment without any problems and I put myself on lifelong learning. I respect people without knowing where they come from, professional and so all. Family is for the most part a valuable aspect of my life and a lot of other people as well because I grow up close to my family its part of my culture. It’s important to understand patient’s relationship with their family and how they are involved in their life. It’s my dream to take care of patients delivering maximum care and treatment equal respect, regardless of their social and economic status. According to Potter an Perry (2013, p, 29) “the goals of nursing have been to help people maintain their health and to provide comfort and care to the sick. My experience play a big role in my life I was administering medication and I was making sure my clients are comfortable which is more related to the practical nursing field. Care giving environment needs more collaboration, honesty and requires you to be an active learner and have a better understanding of clients behavior as the clients was with different type of illness, so I was treating my client nicely and be a friend with them so that they enjoy my companionship. My personal values are more related to professional values and i believe all those together can create positive impact in the nursing filed.
