Philosophy of Nursing Statement
Nursing has always been my passion ever since I was a little girl. Growing up, I spent days and weeks at the pediatric hospital because of my asthmatic condition. The best memories from my stay there are from the nurses who catered for me with love and dedication. My passion for nursing begun as a result of this experience. At the age of sixteen, while at the hospital, I witnessed the suffering of children in the oncology unit and resolved to be the best nurse I could be. I have continued to improve my skills through learning and opportunities to improve knowledge, in my quest to be the best care provider.
From 2009 to 2015, I worked at the community hospital, where I gained experience in catering for the hygiene needs of the patients. Since then, I have gone to work in the oncology department and in pediatric nursing, where I learned how to deliver compassionate care. I am currently working in the health department as a community health nurse.
My philosophy of nursing is patient-centered, focusing on the needs of the patient and provision of preventive care. I believe that the patient comes first, and as a nurse, I am obliged to provide the best quality care to them. This belief is the reason I am applying for this program. I want to acquire more academic knowledge, skills, and know-how so I can continue to improve the methods of nursing I practice. I firmly believe that getting into this program will give me an opportunity to learn more about the nursing profession and sharpen my skills as a nurse, which will add value to my service. I am determined to learn from the best, and I am eager to begin my studies.
