compassion and empathy for others who are in need. When I started nursing in my first
philosophy. In my opinion, the most important aspect of nursing is compassion for the
patient, the patient's family, and the health care provider in order to maintain a therapeutic
relationship and a high standard of care. Nursing philosophy is based on giving patients
and communities the best possible care. These principles serve as the foundation for
becoming a successful nurse. My passion to help people in need has consumed me for
as long as I can remember, and I believe this is what ultimately inspired me to choose
compassion and service, and I am most fulfilled when I am helping, educating, and caring
for people.

requirements of others. The numerous employment opportunities that the nursing field
offers were the second motivation for pursuing a nursing degree. I have the opportunity
to research additional career paths as a nurse. I can continue to work as a bedside nurse
by giving my patients the treatment they need directly, or I can pursue specialized training
in certain medical fields or certifications. Additionally, I can pursue advanced practice
roles if I keep pursuing greater levels of study. Because every healthcare professional
has a unique set of beliefs, values, and concepts for providing care for patients, nursing

go beyond simply treating a patient's physical illness and also include promoting their
mental, spiritual, and emotional well-being. In addition to involving all medical and
paramedical departments in the patient's care, holistic care also involves the engagement
In my opinion, the major goal of holistic care is to assist the patient in regaining
their strength so they can carry out activities of daily living. Additionally, my nursing
patients are better able to maintain their trust in health care professionals, develop their
self-esteem, and improve themselves on their own. This paradigm also covers improving
the health of the caregiver because they are essential to providing the patient with high-

philosophy and practice as bedside care nurse. A 38-year-old female, who had
undergone an abdominal hysterectomy four days prior and was complaining of severe
pain, was admitted to the ward during my clinical practice as bedside nurse. After
consulting with the doctor, an intramuscular analgesic was administered, but after half an
hour, she began to feel worse. Because the source of the discomfort was not physical
even though it was brought on by stress, it helped me remember how the mind and body
interact. I then educated her about how the body changes and how long the recovery
process takes. She and I were able to maintain an interpersonal connection, and as a
result, the intensity of her pain and anxiety both decreased. I applied a holistic approach
holistic care and treating the client as a whole is much more crucial because a person's
perception of their health and illness can affect how far along, they are in their recovery
from any disorder or illness as well as whether or not their self-respect and dignity are
preserved. When a person's self-respect and dignity are upheld and they are not only
willing to take care of themselves but also wish to enhance their health status, their health
can advance in all directions. Additionally, in order to provide the best possible care for a

who has just given birth. My students focused on delivering the benefits of exclusive

because of this love in doing research, I find it very interesting to further my knowledge

have relevance to the topic that they are presenting. As a Clinical Instructor also, I find it
crucial that we conduct studies on health issues like the ones that our patients are
reporting. The most common causes of death in this nation are illnesses or ailments
brought on by lifestyle decisions. The outcome of this research will be of help in order for
us nurses to deliver the best and quality care that our patients deserve to receive from

as summer youth camps with the goal of transforming the mindset of the youth into

The summer camp that I crafted for several years already was able to mold student
leaders in their schools both in the secondary and tertiary level in which I am very much
proud of. Aside from doing this activity to the youth, my philosophy directed to be an active
nurse leader in the Philippine Nurses’ Association where I headed the NOMELEC Unit in
our chapter. It made me realize that there are still a lot of things in store for me to
experience that will further widen my perspective as an industry prepared nurse leader.
In summary, some argue that as nursing enters the twenty-first century, practicing
nurses must become more actively involved in using and expanding nursing knowledge
in order for the discipline to survive and advance. Creating a personal nursing philosophy
allows for contemplation on the connections between one's own philosophical ideas and
