Personal Philosophy of Nursing

Personal Philosophy of Nursing Order Description I generally practice along the lines of Virginia Henderson and like her nursing philosophy. Caring, compassionate, non judgmental mentality as well. Nurses are held to the highest standards of care and I try to personally reflect on my own personal values and use the same values in my daily work. Just a little bit about me to help with the paper.
