NURS 1001
2 Values
Compassion
Compassion is basically recognizing the humanity in patients and being caring to them at their worst moments. It brings me back to why I decided to become an emergency nurse—It’s about providing love and support.
Ethical integrity
Ethical integrity refers to personal conduct to maintain the confidence of fellow persons by possessing qualities such as: honesty. They allow me to always prioritize my patient’s needs and speak for them without considering the consequences.
Respect
Respect directs me on how to treat all my patients with respect and respect for their personalities in order to build trust in treatment. Professionalism is also very crucial in my nursing practice because respect all patients regardless their age, background or any other factors of their choice. For me, it is not enough to listen and care; it means to understand what it is like to be in the body of an ill person. Its rolls in trust, instills safety to the patient and most importantly gives the patient the message that he has a value that is more than just the case he has. Respect as a professional virtue helps me provide to the patient efficient care that is also completely humane as a nurse.
Empathy
Empathy enables me to feel with the patients, and not only satisfy their physical need but even their psychological need as well. For me, as a nurse, these values define what I do they are my beacon, my motivator and my purpose; to be able to affect people’s lives positively.
