My personal nursing philosophy drives my decision-making skills. My philosophy encompasses a variety of past philosophies. Those have paved the way for what nursing is. The main components of patient care; environment, patient comfort, basic needs are things that I can usually tweak quickly for a big effect. I use this notion to prioritize and to help drive my nursing decisions. Other things that I feel a very important for me as a nurse to adhere to, like assisting with the emotional aspect of a patient care help me determine how I will handle each situation. Every patient is different. They each have different emotional, spiritual, and physiologic needs. I utilize my theory to help tackle each of these needs to provide the best patient care
