Develop and write a 1-page scholarly paper which should clearly reflect your personal philosophy of nursing. The paper should include the identification and examination of your own perspective (definition) of nursing’s metaparadigm of nursing, person, health, and environment, as well as the identification of other concepts that you believe should be a part of our metaparadigm.
Discuss how these concepts are interrelated in terms of how you understand and accomplish your work as a nurse. What is important in your practice of nursing including your values, beliefs, and assumptions about nursing as science and art?
1. Consider how you view the art and science of the profession.
2. How do you view the practice of nursing?
3. How do you define human beings, health, nursing, and the environment?
4. What theories, beliefs, values, and assumptions shape your perspective of the nursing paradigm?
5. Do you relate to a specific nursing theory or theorist that you have explored during your baccalaureate education?
6. Are you influenced by the ANA Code of Ethics or your personal faith?
7. How would you articulate this philosophy to others?
