Background
Dependable, a person who has such traits embodies the
characteristics that frame the best of us. As every human being on this
planet has or will need a support system at some point in life to
depend on the field of nursing is essential. To provide support,
comfort, and care for someone else is what it truly means to be a
nurse. Most often put in a position that requires a combination of
critical thinking through knowledge and compassion, a nurse embodies
influential traits. This challenge is what drew me toward the career Ive
always found pride in helping people as its one of the few things I
would consider myself good at, a natural effort. With this simple desire
to help those in need, is enough motivation for success throughout the
University of New Hampshires Nursing program prior to entering.
What It Means To Be A Nurse
With a relationship centered on trust, advocacy remains the most
important role of a Nurse. These values and ethical principles vary
from different individuals, however the ultimate goal of reaching
optimal health does not. A Philosophy of Nursing is said to be a
natural extension of our interest in the truth, specifically our own true
motivators responsible for our passion to dedicate ourselves toward
care for other human beings. A Nurse is the only profession I see
myself truly identifying with. It is someone who strives to promote
dignified support for those who may be in the worst or most vulnerable
