The Art and Philosophy of Nursing as I Know It Some may say that nursing is a form of art. The skills, critical judgment, and diverse knowledge performed by a nurse take the same time, devotion, and patience that of an artist with their grand masterpiece.

The primary motivation of nursing should consist of the desire to take care for the ill, either the patient that was just born or preparing comfort measures for the dying. The core of nursing in my opinion should be that of caring. To care for the sick one must represent, advocate, and uphold the profession ethical standards at all times. Moreover, Kristen Swanson’s Theory of Caring, offers an explanation of what it means to practice nursing in a caring manner.

Along the line I would like to attain my Master of Science in Nursing to practice as a Nurse Practitioner. Once I acquire my Nurse Practitioner degree I would like to practice within surgical services.
