Nursing to me means caring for people and helping people have the best chance at life with Maintenace of health. I work in pediatrics and love getting to work with care for kids. I love getting to watch milestones be hit and get to make kids feel better about coming to the doctor. Nurses make a difference. We are the patients' advocates, support them and their families through difficult times. We as nurses make the difference in if a patient gets better or not. I became a nurse to help those around me. I have always had a caring nature and tried to take care of everyone around me from a young age. I wanted this to be my focus when I choose a career field. I am an organized person, that is goal oriented. I work well with other people and work hard and the tasks given to me. Nursing is a team focused profession. Without a team patient care could not be accomplished. We as nurses must work with doctors, nurses, Ot, PT, and others to make sure the patient is getting the best care possible. Hildegard Peplau introduced the theory of interpersonal relationships in nursing. IN her theory she claims that the aim of the nurse client relationship is to provide effective nursing care leading to health promotion and maintenance. “Within the nurse-client relationship, the nurse adopts one or more of six helping roles when providing care: stranger, resource person, teacher, leader, surrogate, and counselor” (Courey, 2008) . Peplau’s theory gives nurses a structure on which to base their interactions with the patients. References: Courey, T. J., Martsolf, D. S., Draucker, C. B., & Strickland, K. B. (2008, May).
