N481 Role Transition: Philosophy Paper

Purpose of the Assignment:  The purpose of this assignment is to enable the student to rediscover his or her personal philosophy of nursing as it exists upon the completion of the baccalaureate nursing program

Student Approach to Assignment

Through this assignment I was able to reflect on how I have changed and developed as a student nurse in my time with ODU School of Nursing. I had not given this much thought since I did the original assignment (not included) nearly two years ago and created my vision board. I also had the opportunity to evaluate different beliefs I had about the roles of nurses and gain a better understanding of any unconscious bias I may have had. This assignment has allowed me to more thoroughly develop who I am as a nurse and the direction I want to continue with in my future career.

 

Reason for Inclusion of the Assignment in the Portfolio

 Inclusion of this assignment in my portfolio allows the reader to see how I have grown and developed as a person and is a good example of my ability for self-reflection. I hope that by reading this reflection and sharing my definition of nursing it was help the reader to better know who I am as a person and nurse, and what values are important to me.
