Nursing vision and philosophy – “As nurses in this profession we play an important role in the overall wellbeing of every patient to include physical, psychosocial, spiritual/cultural needs and assessments. These are aspects that typically overlap when it comes to health and must be addressed. Ever since I was in elementary school I wanted to be 2 things: a nurse and a teacher. It makes my job worthwhile to do both and make an impact on future nurses at the same time.”
