Belief The BSN program at CNMU is established on the belief that nursing is a harmonious science that is constructed on the discipline of knowledge and caring. Our philosophy of nursing articulates the lifelong transformative process of nursing knowledge, nursing skills, and personal values (ENMU, 2015). We believe professional empowerment, a desire for learning, and societal justice should be encompassed in the learning process of our students.

The concept of caring incorporates empathy, connection, and the ability to transpose these concepts into compassionate, ethical, sensitive, appropriate care to individuals in their nursing practice (Ray, 2015). CNMU ascertains the four domains of nursing as: Person: An individual is a holistic being that possess intrinsic dignity and worth (New Mexico State University (NMSU), 2013). An individual is part of a family, a community, and the world, and becomes the primary focus of nursing when there is a potential or an actual health care need (ENMU, 2015) Health: Pertains to the holistic aspect of a person (NMSU, 2013). It envelops the persons mind, body, spirit to maintain harmony physically, psychologically, socially, spiritually, and in all moral realms of the holistic aspect of the person (ENMU, 2015). Environment: This inheres with the physical, geographical, and socio-cultural in any situation or event that guides the individual’s decisions and expressions (ENMU, 2015). The environment can be affected by “physical, psychological, social, cultural, ethnic, spiritual, economic, political, and ecological factors” (NMSU, …show more content…
Intellectual competencies and technical skills are developed in the nurse for the ability to assist individuals, who are ill or well, in coping with their health care needs (ENMU, 2015). We believe that the professional nurse functions in the roles of an educator, care provider, patient advocate, manager, researcher, and a leader (NMSU, 2013). We believe the nursing based knowledge of caring contributes to health and sovereignty of all individuals throughout their
Environment is a person 's surrounding conditions and circumstances at a specific time, which influences that person 's behavior. In selection from Hard to Get: Twenty Something Women and the Paradox of Sexual Freedom Leslie bell writes about how pressure from the environment shapes young women 's behavior and puts them in a contradictory position about their sexual rights. Pressure from community and society lead young women to splitting which results in unconsciously creating two or more distinct lifestyle and thinking that they can only choose one way or the other. Malcolm Gladwell in his essay The Power of Context: Bernie Goetz and the Rise and Fall of New York City writes about how environment shapes an individual 's behavior and how it
The school of health professions and nursing has a mission/vision statement. The statement discusses educating students from diverse backgrounds to address the social and health needs for the new millennium. The key words I noted in this statement are social and health needs, individual, family, community, humanistic values, interprofessional skills, technology, social wellness, teaching, and research. On the website for the bachelor of nursing program, there is a mission and philosophy statement. The mission statement discusses preparing students for life-long learning to deliver quality nursing care in a global environment.
These viewpoints have importance for medicine as well as for nursing or other health professions. The complete practice of human caring theory is most fully realized in a nursing theory because nursing allows for the constant caring factor that medicine does not have;

The four concepts of nursing are interrelated and all mean something different to every person, too.

Introduction “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” () Nurses play an important role in patient caring, not only physically but also mentally and spiritually. The knowledge of the nurse and different types of skills, such as communication skills, leadership skills, etc. also affect the quality of patient caring. “As the largest group of health care professionals, nurses contribute in positive and negative ways to the health care quality problem.” () Therefore, it is important for a nurse to learn about nursing theories in order to help them to take care of their patients.
As per the metaparadigm human being is the person who is receiving care. Which may include the family member person’s occupation, and social needs.

This philosophy will be aligned with a known nursing theory and the comparisons will be discussed. Section I: Personal Philosophy of Nursing Person
It is the person and their physical, emotional, and psychological needs that are the basic focus of nursing’s attention. In order to care for a patient, the nurse must incorporate all these needs. For example, providing reassurance with an anxious patient who just finished hip surgery. Care also plays a major part when taking care of a unique patient. Caring influences my personal philosophy because it is the most important aspect of nursing.
The practice of nursing evolves daily from theories and philosophies that are proven by researchers, resulting in growth of the medical profession and advanced evidence based knowledge. Philosophies According to Alligood (2014b), philosophies are specific theories that focus on one or more metaparadigm concepts in a wide spectrum philosophical way (p. 43). For a person to understand philosophies it is required to understand the knowledge type, metaparadigms. Metaparadigm Metaparadigm is the vast perspective of a discipline and a way to describe a concern specifically to a profession or department (Alligood, 2014b, p.42).
“These abilities are essential for today 's professional nurse who must be a skilled provider, designer, manager, and coordinator of care (AACN, 2010). My goal is to be the safest nurse I can be and deliver a high quality of care to all of my patients. I would want the same if I was the patient.

Introduction: As a first year student I have very specific goals in mind that I hope to achieve through my work in college. My main hopes for the future are that I pass all of my exams in the coming years, graduate and receive my honours degree in general nursing, become a registered nurse and finally get a job as a nurse. Throughout this essay, I have detailed my strengths and the opportunities that will help me finalise these goals along with my weaknesses and the threats that will hinder my progress. Strengths:
All this education has provided me with the abilities, knowledge, strengths, work ethics to be a proud and efficient professional working in the competitive nursing field. The BSN program has provided me with new knowledge and new skills, that have helped me to evolve into a more competent and professional nurse with stronger nursing knowledge, ethics, and moral values. Each course that I took during the BSN program was a new opportunity to strengthen my knowledge, ability to do research, and critical thinking skills expanding my knowledge and making me feel confident of my abilities to work as an important part of an interdisciplinary team.

Providing care to a patient is a particularly challenging process that requires a great deal of effort from a nurse. A nurse’s ability to give quality care to their patient is an important aspect to a patient’s life both now and in the future. As such, nurses must exhibit specific qualities in their practice in order to maintain the best standard of care for their patients. Given this, I believe that the standards of knowledge, advocacy, and self-awareness are foundational to the nursing practice and to a nurse’s capacity to provide quality patient care. Knowledge
