qualities of character of human beings. They include feelings and motivation, as well as perception and reason. • Good medical care – from nurses, doctors, porters, administrators, etc. – involves more than technical capability and competence. • It should also involve the right caring attitude, which is developed through emphasizing virtues With Respect to Nurses Specifically, Megan-Jane Johnstone, stated that “The agreed end or telos of the profession and practice of nursing is the promotion…
In regard to working this profession, I’ve discovered a new-found awareness of focus and understanding. If there’s anything that I’ve learned from my aunt, it’s that the patients she works with are undergoing a difficult situation and I must be the one in control to guide them through this process. It is a long and exhausting road for them, you must be the one to help them understand the illness, what they and you can do to ease the pain and create a plan for them so they may live a healthier…
1. I chose nursing as my profession because nursing is my calling. Nursing is a noble profession and I have always looked up to nurses as role models. Day in and day out nurses put their patient’s lifes and needs above their own. I have always enjoyed caring for others and helping them to the best of my abilities. Working in a healthcare setting confirmed my beliefs that I would love healthcare. I enjoy the atmosphere, the groups of professionals, and I absolutely love working with my patients.…
A Nurse leader is defined as nurse who is interested in the profession of nursing and interested in refining the ways to better and improve upon goals to make a better healthcare system.

an important value in nursing. It is what helps build a connection between the patient and the nurse (Rutherford). In the hierarchy of needs, trust is part of safety and security.

It can be built through intrapersonal characteristics a nurse has (Dinc, 2013). Strategies to build trust include being honest about everything. Do not make…
This trend has changed greatly as we have men who are nurses. However, it is still worthy to note that women remains the majority in nursing. These trends have influenced my perspective of nursing practice in many different ways. To begin with, the trends have made me identify myself with the care giving role…
improve on would be nursing informatics. I have spent so much time working on my nursing skills that I have not yet written one note during clinicals. This causes a lack of communication and with no formal education on how we should be charting I sometimes feel lost. I realized that this was a problem when I went to start charting because this was the first clinical I have had computer access and realized that I am very far behind. The second area of nursing that I can improve on is patient…
Francis College. Throughout this time, I was working alongside Dr. Marika Cherfas and her medical staff of nurses. My observation of patient interactions with the doctor and nurses influenced me to do more than just help others by treating their illness or injury. The nurses’ actions were similar to the experience that I had when caring for others; they went beyond the physical. They empathized with their patients and ensured that while…
surgeries. Kelly remembers her second surgery that she had at the age of 14. It was at Egleston, Children’s Hospital in Atlanta in 1991. She had to have her aortic valve replaced with a mechanical one. She was in ICU for one week. She grew close to the nurses and decided she wanted to be just like them, an RN. Kelly revealed that one of the biggest benefits of her profession is that she can work almost anywhere. Jobs can range from hospital, doctors office, home health, or to health…
