My Personal Philosophy of Nursing Nurses are responsible for lifelong care, continuing education, and accountability for nursing practice. The philosophy of nursing is what I believe to be true about nursing and provides a foundation for the profession. Without reflecting on the philosophical system within the components of nursing, patient care can generate false generalizations. This can lead to unjustified conclusions. This type of thinking can compromise patient trust and the quality of care. Personal Philosophy The environment around us shapes our way of thinking and can be influenced by morals, ethics and values. My values ​​and ethics have been established over the years as a member of the Armed Forces. As a future nurse, I will work with other healthcare professionals and care for patients with a wide range of cultural differences. According to Careful Nursing, n.d., the guiding philosophy of nursing can be seen as the nature and inherent dignity of the human person, the infinite transcendent reality in life processes, and health as human flourishing. As a soldier, I was guided by the seven Army values ​​and I feel they will be a guiding principle for me as a young nurse. Loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity and personal courage are the seven values ​​of the Army. Altruism: For example, poor health can force a person to retire (Merriam-Webster," n.d.). In the nursing profession, I feel that nurses restore and promote health.

Health promotion consists of education about exercise, smoking and diet in relation to hypertension, diabetes and the heart
