My philosophy as a nursing student is that I will aim to be aware of my own bias and practice self-reflection to expand on my self-awareness. I think that this is important in order to uphold respect for human dignity regardless of social class or race. I also believe in bringing consistency, effective communication, and advocacy for patients, that way they can feel heard, understood, and respected. I believe that nurses should always commit to ethical practice to provide safe, sensitive, patient-centered care.
