Personal philosophy of nursing.

Unit 1 has presented different views of nursing, including nursing’s metapardigm, nursing as a discipline and profession, nursing as an art and science, and others. Units 2 and 3 have presented various paradigms and theories that are the basis of nursing knowledge. Units 4 and 5 have explored how nursing knowledge is used and developed in practice.
Synthesize what you have learned throughout the course about nursing and nursing knowledge to formulate a philosophy of nursing. Your philosophy should answer the following questions:
1. What does nursing mean to me?
2. How do I use nursing knowledge in my practice?
3. How can I contribute to the development of nursing knowledge, as a nurse scholar?
The discussion should demonstrate:
• integration of a breadth of materials, including course literature, to support the discussion
• use of examples from nursing practice to illustrate the discussion
• clarity in the meaning of key terms
• personalized, original approach
• logical links within each section of the paper
• logical links among the sections of the paper
