Getting My MSN Blog: Why choose education?

Getting My MSN Blog: Reflections on the process of developing a personal Educational Philosophy.
My developing a philosophy that was based in making sure future nurses are firmly based in caring came about somewhat accidentally. Seeing things that didn't depict caring behavior by nurses as a "young thing" in this profession made me realize the importance of making sure that was really emphasized in working with students. Seeing the less than perfect parts of the world makes me understand what is important to me and want to strive to achieve that. Some have lost touch with their caring selves thru over-work and burn out, or thru having to develop a thick skin to survive. Others may have never had a very caring spirit to begin with. It is something I think about a lot. I try to watch for the signs of caring in my students and tell them how important it is in this profession.
