My philosophy of nursing is Live it and Love it, but love yourself first. That may seem simple, but I find it to be very true. We are living our lives to help others and striving to make their lives all they can be and more. The health and well being of our patients may sometimes overtake our lives, physically and emotionally. I believe we need to, first and foremost, take care of ourselves, mentally, physically and emotionally. We cannot take care of others if we do not have a handle on our own lives. Nursing is a demanding profession but if you love what you do it will all be worth it and feel so rewarding.
