Your Personal Philosophy of Nursing Statement
You will be studying beliefs and values. You will explore elements of selected nursing philosophies, nursing conceptual models, and theories of nursing. You will consider some of the most noted theoretical works in how they guide nursing practice. A metaparadigm is a concept that is extremely general, one that serves to define an entire world of thought. You will be introduced to the basic four concepts of the metaparadigm for nursing which serve to underpin the entire conceptual universe of the nursing profession. Those concepts in the metaparadigm are: person, health, environment, and nursing.
Philosophy is defined as the study of the principles underlying conduct, thought, and the nature of the universe.
Everyone has a personal philosophy of life, whether they have ever subjected their own beliefs to rational thought.
