Date Nursing philosophy

The nursing philosophy of a nurse explains their ethics, values, and beliefs, as well as

why they choose to work in the profession. It looks at nursing from the perspective of a nurse's

education, practice, and ethical standards when it comes to patient care. Nursing philosophy may

help you recognize the concepts and theories that affect the choices you make on a daily basis.

How to properly integrate our personal ideas, values and beliefs into professional practice

is a significant issue in the nursing profession. Each person has unique values, beliefs, ideals, and

thoughts (Meehan et al., 220). Care, honesty, diversity, and quality in patient care are the four

core principles of nursing practice according to the National League of Nurses (NLN). To be

able to create one's own nursing philosophy, one must first be able to reflect on one's own beliefs

and values.

The main emphasis of the APN, in my opinion, should be on providing patient-centered

care and evidence-based practice in a loving relationship that promotes health and recovery. To

be effective, a nurse practitioner (NP) must treat all patients with compassion, honesty, and the

utmost regard. When patients see an NP, the NP should not only attend to their medical

requirements but also provide emotional support. I'm a person of integrity who believes in

providing holistic treatment and being completely honest with my patients. In order to provide

excellent healthcare, it's critical to make an effort to connect with patients and assess their value

and individuality. Orem's idea of self-care deficiencies is one notion I'd want to use in my

advanced nursing practice. As a result, this idea is beneficial for patients who want to increase

their capacity to take care of themselves. The more closely patients follow the NPs'

recommendations, the better off they'll be in terms of their health results.

Globally, the functions of APN practice vary per country. The majority, on the other

hand, admit patients to the institution, diagnose them, prescribe medicine, and treat them in order

to get an official title that identifies them as advanced nursing practitioners. There are two types

of RNs in South Africa: Registered nurses who specialize and advanced practice registered

nurses (APNs) (Gottlieb et al., 55). Nursing specialists specialize in one area of clinical care,

such as pediatrics. Advanced nurse practitioners have extra training in a leadership role, such as

education. While nurses do specialize in the UK, the title of this job is unclear. The Royal

College of Nursing endorses a master's degree as the minimum requirement for entry into the

field. However, not all training courses adhere to these requirements.
