    My Philosophy of Nursing Practice Nursing to me is a fulfillment of a lifelong dream. Caring for others has always been inbuilt, a priority and what I have always considered being human from my childhood.

From then, I have always taken it as a personal initiative always to care, and it has gradually become my interest and what I love doing most, and from that, it is palpable that I’m not forced into it and that I can do it at my best.…

    Everyone’s motive to finish school and get a decent job, whether they know it or not, is to be “successful” and financially stable, but after being told that so many times I notice some of us lose sight of our real dreams. Getting an education becomes the task that blurs the fine lines of what you really want, and so some of us end up in jobs we hate because we only looked at the amount of money that job pulled in. Rather than doing what we love and loving what we do, we sacrifice our time, ironically our money, and happiness in order to make more money to achieve what’s left of our goals for those who still hold them high. Aside from the repetitive, monotonous, and progressive difficulty of the curriculum of reading, writing, and arithmetic, school has taught me more than what was intended.…
