Personal Philosophy Guidelines

(Please See Rubric for Grading Criteria)

The personal philosophy of nursing is a formal paper written in first person (I) and is to include your perspectives on the metaparadigm concepts of client, health, nurse, and environment. Be sure to incorporate a statement of personal values and beliefs, as well as perspectives on any other concepts or issues such as health care policies, community issues, individual and/or cultural health care practices that may define, guide, or impact your practice as a nurse. A personal philosophy guides your development and practice as a registered nurse. It serves as your foundation. It is a work in progress and will probably change as you progress through the nursing curriculum. You will have an opportunity to revise this philosophy in the senior year of the nursing program. There are no right or wrong answers as it is your philosophy, but you do need to follow and include the required criteria to satisfactorily complete the assignment. The personal philosophy is written through a personal lens, but is often supported by appropriately referencing the written views of published authors and theorists. Your philosophy may be influenced by individuals you have encountered, personal values, previous healthcare experiences, current social or political issues, personal definitions of health and illness, and perceived roles/images of the professional nurse. You are strongly encouraged to clearly and creatively weave the course content (especially nursing, science, and liberal arts theories) into your philosophy.
