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. I marveled at God’s creation and appreciated the beauty in it, something I still do. However, I would always frown at how humanity lacked ‘sympathy’ for the creation and fellow humanity. 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.

Watson stated that “the theoretical concepts emerged from his personal/ professional experiences and were inducted, empirically grounded and combined with his philosophical, intellectual and experiential background” (130).

When encountered with a situation that involves a problem-solving process, I tend to use the caring philosophy as my guiding principle, and certainly, it has helped me grow holistically and professionally. Watson states that to be human is to feel and be sensitive about other people’s feeling
