was aware of everything that was going on around me. One thing that came across my mind was something that had been bothering me for a while now. I am terrified of applying to nursing schools. I am scared of not being accepted to any school. Even though, last Wednesday I talked to one of the transfer advisors from a nursing school and he told me that my GPA was great, I am still scared of being rejected.

Introduction Nurses havea wide variety of roles such as providing nursing care, support, and health education to the patients and families. Evidence has a major constitution in the delivery of advanced and safe healthcare (Mitchell, 2013). Globally, the body of nursing knowledge acknowledged the incorporation of evidence into nursing practice, which improve healthcare outcomes, promote high quality care, increase personal productivity and decrease healthcare costs (Hall, 2006).

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 think the reward I get from helping a patient is much greater than the compensation factor. I feel wonderful every time patients tell me what positive impact I’ve made in their lives or that I’ve
The difficulties in tacit knowledge in contemporary nursing are numerous; 1. The dynamism of the society is based on facts that are documented 2.

The engine represent health, conductor represent nursing, cars represent human, and rail track represent environment The philosophy of nursing is defined as the intellectual and affective outcomes of the professional nurse's efforts to: 1) understand the ultimate relationships between humans, their environment, and health 2) approach nursing as a scientific discipline 3) Integrate
Understanding the concept of values is important in nursing because they affect the process of developing opinions and attitudes. A value is something that describes a sense of importance and worth, and a belief is a concept that one carries out with conviction. The two are closely related because beliefs can establish a set of values, and values can affect what we choose to believe in. The CNO's practice guidelines for “Practicing Cultural Care,” everyone has a set values that affects the way they
