My Philosophy of Nursing
Melanie Padayao, RN
Holy Name University
I never thought that I would have become a nurse today. Since I graduated in high school,
took me ten years of working in a different field of marketing and merchandising before I
was given an opportunity to pursue in college which is nursing. Honestly, at first I was just
taking my nursing course because of the opportunity abroad. But my student experiences
and as a nurse taught me to love my profession. I will never forget the first time I heard
my patient saying thank you with a smile. And yes, I never regret my chosen profession.
Being a nurse is the best thing that happened in my life.
What does nursing mean to me. When one thinks of a nurse they often think of a caring,
compassionate, knowledgeable individual. They don’t often think that every nurse comes
from different situation, past experiences, and life changing events that make nurses who
he or she is. Everyone on this earth is unique and has something to contribute. The same
goes for patients. Each patient has a different background and have different interests
which make them who they are. In order to give the optimal care, one must understand a
patient as a whole. My knowledge, being compassionate, caring, respectful and honest
are just a few to be able to touch a person’s life. Taking care of the; spiritual, physical and
emotional aspect of the patient, and taking into consideration their family and
environment, for sure a nurse will surely receive a thank you with a smile.
For me it is not only the patient who will have the focus of attention but the relationship
between the nurse and the patient. A nurse must understand and connect to patients to
be able to give what they really need. Nursing for me is a connection to different
individuals who receives the care. I believe in one golden rule: treat others as you would
like to be treated. Every individual is worthy of respect. This rule is good for everyone, but
if you are a nurse this rule is a duty.
Four metaparadigm in my viewpoint:
Person
-one that nursing profession serve
-an individual or group of people
-receiver of the care
Environment
-anywhere an individual received the care they need from health professionals
-surroundings that may influence each individual
Health
-Patient’s health status or condition that he/she experiences
Nursing
-a connection to different individuals who receives the care
