From the beginning of my Nursing Career, my parents told me that Nursing is complex
and it is all about commitment, care, precision, and precautions. In some way, I agree with their
views. The Journey of Nursing throughout the semesters was full of excitement and astonishing
at every turn. I have always learned from my mistakes that unexpectedly, challenges will appear
and experts should overcome them. This is significant learning to mold ourselves as Nurses. I
have learned how to work efficiently while having high-stress moments and hectic timetables
without impacting a patient’s outcomes (Kipe, 2002).
I was truly influenced by the quote of Louis Hay- “it is okay to learn from every
experience, and it is okay to make mistakes” which gives an encouraging idea about healthy
living. I have always been a person who loves to read and write. It is been almost a year as a
practicing nurse and I have learned that the vital role of nursing is to talk and take care of
patients. Throughout the journey, I have learned to accept the challenges and difficulties
(George, 2011).
As per Self Care Deficit theory by Dorothea E. Orem, I believe that Nurses should
safeguard the relationship with patients as well as with the family members, relatives, visitors,
and friends. I have gained knowledge of health maintenance and health promotion (Self Care
Deficit Theory, 2016). Orem’s method delivered a whole method to examine the self-care
deficits. I have utterly smeared the statement of Orem’s theory which is “must be coordinated
with interpersonal and social pressures with nursing situations”.
