The APN must be well educated in the healthcare needs of the underserved in society.
Understanding what is needed to ensure all people regardless of, ethnicity, religion, country of
origin, sexual orientation, or ability to pay, has a meaningful quality of life.
My philosophy of nursing practice includes the importance of a collaborative trusting
provider patient relationship. The relationship the provider has with his or her patient is the
basis for achieving spiritual, physical and emotional well-being. The APN understands the
need to treat the patient as a whole, and provide care that is patient centered, if we are to
achieve optimal wellness. Patient centered care establishes a partnership between the
provider, the patient and their families, one that respects the needs, wants and preferences of
the patient, and one that solicits the patients input on the education, treatment and the
support they need to make decisions and participate in their own care. The goal of the patient
provider relationship is to have mutual trust, respect, understanding, and support for each
other in order to achieve spiritual, physical and emotional well-being.
The purpose of my philosophy, achieving a collaborative trusting relationship that
supports the patient in receiving preventative health care, promoting wellness and integrating
holistic approaches, that moves the patient, families and society toward wellness. A positive
relationship is one in which the provider and the patient communicate openly, collaborate
freely, and can effectively support each other in a mutual understanding of the goals of care.
The structure of the provider patient relationship is one that has over-lapping common areas
with health in the middle and physical, spiritual and emotional surrounding health.
