Park Hospital in Chicago nearly 23 years ago for my clinical rotation in psychiatry while pursuing my associate degree in nursing, I knew immediately that I wanted to devout my nursing career to caring for those persons afflicted with mental illness.

I began my nursing career working the medical surgical unit because
Not everyone is cut out to be a great nurse. It is a calling to want to truly and empathetically care for the sick, injured, mentally ill, or dying. My philosophy is to treat the patient not the disease by listening and making nonjudgmental, educational clinical decisions to help them meet their healthcare goals and needs. The goal as a nurse is to empower, educate, and support our patients to help them succeed. Nurses must learn and be able to keep their own personal beliefs out of clinical decisions
When I completed my ADN program, I viewed the role of nursing as a process of caring and developing patient relationships. Nursing is selfless at its core; it is caring and compassionate; it is respectful, honest and genuine; it advocates for the helpless and assists the ill to a state of optimum health.

I will have achieved this Master of Science in Nursing outcome by immersing informatics and technology into my healthcare environment with my capstone project to help all staff comply with
Nursing hasn’t always been the first option for me but reality made it my option, I was cut out to be a doctor from the start because I was always inspired to be in the health fields. Along the line, I had the opportunity to have nursing education during which I saw a nurse perform deliveries without the doctor. This really changed my mindset and made me see nursing from a different perspective. I saw it as a professional course that had so many skills making it unique to other professional programs
My first few initial meetings with my preceptor were to discuss my options and choices for the core competencies. We explored various activities that will help me to achieve my desired outcome for this clinical experience. This journal will explore my objectives and learning activities relating to the core competencies from The American Organization of Nurse Executives (AONE), personal philosophy, and situations that I experience during my clinical experience regarding my personal objectives.

I was helping my mom care for my siblings and looking after them when they are sick, gradually I became familiar with some medicines and their therapeutic effects. My parents did not have the financial capability to send us all to school, so I decided to sacrifices my early school days to look after my younger ones. I have been interested in the nursing profession since I was a child, but due to my parent's financial hardship, I was unable to achieve the
Tourville and Ingalls (2003) visually depict nursing theories, Florence Nightingale and the four metaparadigms in The Living Tree of Nursing Theories. Nurse, person, environment, and health, referred to as the four metaparadigms, are the roots of the tree. Florence Nightingale is depicted as the trunk of the tree because she is viewed as the original nurse theorist and the branches symbolize the interactive, systems and developmental theories (Tourville & Ingalls, 2003).
