The new Nurse Educator

Question: Discuss why you believe the chosen nursing theorist provides inspiration and how he/she will influence your nursing practice? Answer: Caring is the important and central aspect of nursing. Caring is a concept about moral idea rather than a job oriented task, especially in nursing (Watson 1996). Caring in nursing is caritas process which delineates the domain of nursing practice. A nurse is person who dedicates his/her life for serving of humanity. A famous phrase of Watson about caring influences me to perform the role of a nurse. It states about caring acknowledges as the peak form of commitment, to self, to society, to others and to environment. The caring environment that a nurse creates by his/ her love and dedication allow the clients to nourish in that environment happily. Being a nurse, happiness of a patient is the main concern. It gives them mental pleasure and encourages them to perform their role with more dedication and indomitable spirit. Apart from that other reasons which influence me are as follows. Nursing involves transpersonal caring which an intersubjective human to human relation. Here the transpersonal relationship exists between nurses and their patients. In this relationship utmost concern should taken for maintaining human dignity and preservation of humanity (Watson, 1998). By maintaining this kind of relation between a patient and a nurse there will be less chances of an ego clash. There is always a scope of teaching- learning experience. It teaches us to think critically, decrease errors in clinical judgement and improve clinical system. A nurse teaches us how to perform a duty without thinking of personal benefit (Hunt, 2013). Nurses always try to create a positive and vibrant environment always being supportive. The chances of healing a patient in this environment is more because patients are mentally very much content in that environment (Brown, Bishop Bar, 2013). They assist at most of their capability to fulfil the basic need of their patients. By fulfilling their needs nurses help those to reach a state where mind-body-spirit of a patient are in rest not in physically but mentally. Mental peace is very much needed for physical healing. All above factors leads me to take this novel work as my profession. References Brown, C., Bishop, M., Bar, B. (2013). Creating and Sustaining Peace Within for the Journey of Nursing Leadership.
