Personal Nursing Philosophy, Part 2


As you finish this course, your philosophy of nursing has probably changed. As a final review, polish your philosophy of nursing based on your newly acquired knowledge.

Also, write a summary reflection answering the following questions based on the readings and discussions throughout the course:

  • As an art and a science, how has your personal nursing philosophy unfolded?
  • Have there been ideas that have challenged your personal values or assumptions?
  • Have there been ideas that have caused you personal conflict and may lead to deconstructing those dispositions in a critical manner?
  • What actions have you taken that illustrate your personal nursing philosophy?
  • Describe your own definition of the concepts involving the meta-paradigm of nursing.
  • Has your first written philosophy of nursing changed? In what ways?
