Personal Philosophy of Nursing

  Personal Philosophy of Nursing The purpose of this assignment is for students to develop a personal philosophy of nursing. Using the Jacksonville University School of Nursing (JUSON) philosophy as a framework, students will analyze their own thoughts on nursing. Various nursing theories should also be incorporated into the student’s personal philosophy of nursing.

Sources outside the textbook and JUSON should be included in this paper. The paper should be three to four pages, excluding title page and reference page, double-spaced, 12 point font, and one-inch margins, and it should follow APA guidelines for grammar, format, and citations.
