Assignment:
Personal Nursing Philosophy/Mission Statement
Throughout your nursing program you have learned about (and likely experienced) change theory and paradigm shifting. This assignment will require you to revisit goals and views you may have had about nursing before entering, and early in the program.
Examine and reflect on what, if anything has changed about your personal vision for your career. Upon reflecting, you will create a personal nursing philosophy that is suited to your view now, and anticipatory of what lies ahead for you as an LPN.
Clarify the focus and direction of your life as a (soon to be) LPN. Review your semester one and two reflective journals and practice experiences.
What worries or struggles did you have? How has your learning influenced those struggles? Does anything about your reflections from early on stand out to you? Why?
What has changed about how your view of: LPNs/Nursing your own goals and capacities? Can you identify what experiences were responsible for such a change?
Use the evidence of this growth, and integrate the knowledge you have gained since you began this program, to create a personal "Nursing Philosophy". Why are you committing to this career? What will guide you on the rest of this journey? What are your personal beliefs about each of the metaparadigms of nursing?
Total paper should be 3 to 5 pages in length not including your title and reference pages.
