Development of personal nursing philosophy is a way for the nursing student to begin to contemplate and articulate their beliefs and values and the role that those values will play in their nursing career. The student can use and may modify this nursing philosophy as they move forward to guide their nursing education and assure that their nursing career aligns with their values. The paper will be: A professional nursing philosophy developed by the student throughout the semester which includes, but is not limited to, a definition of caring and how it relates to nursing, characteristics of a professional nurse and nurse leader, community awareness and involvement, and methods of lifelong learning A consideration of what makes up the student’s own value system and how that will be applied to nursing The result of contemplation and introspection as well as research and inquiry into the field of nursing. Guided by the following: Start with when you were cared for? Or when you have cared for another? What was that experience like? What are your personal beliefs and values that drew you toward nursing? What have you learned so far that may have changed you in any way? How will you put your beliefs and values into practice? How can you maintain your beliefs and values when practicing as a nurse? How do you want your patients to see you as a nurse?
Choose 1 of the following 3 essay topics below and write a paper responding to the prompt. Those questions and suggestions are designed to get you thinking about potential ways to address the prompt, but you cannot hope to address all of these matters sufficiently in your paper. Rather, the point is to help you brainstorm ways to address the central questions of the essay prompt. Recall Robert Nozick’s “Experience Machine” set of example scenarios from your reading—not just the first case, but the whole series of machine-examples, including the “result machine.” Describe if/explain how Nozick’s examples count against various views of the good or well-being(especially those we discussed). What sort of views of well-being or what’s good, if any, might escape the worries his examples generate? Explain. Is there a type of consequentialism that might satisfy Nozick’s misgivings as expressed by his “Experience Machine” examples? If so, what sort and how so?(You may wish to bring Susan Wolf’s paper, “Happiness and Meaning: Two Aspects of the Good Life” into your discussion here, but you do not have to.) Potential ways of proceeding and questions you might consider along the way: What might Nozick mean by “[p]erhaps what we desire is to live (an active verb) ourselves, in contact with reality”? Is he right that “this, machines cannot do for us”—why? How so? What kinds of views of the good, if any, seem unassailable by intuitions about “experience machines”? Why? If you do not think Nozick’s machine-example worries could not, in principle, be adequately addressed by a consequentialist theory, explain why you think this, providing an argument that touches upon consequentialist views and views of the good that we have discussed in this course (perhaps among others). If you do think a consequentialism can be formulated that steers clear of Nozick’s objections, explain why you think this:what view of well-being or good/bad consequences would be involved? What does this consequentialism say should be done with regard to this understanding of the good—viz. should it bemaximized, evenly distributed, etc., or something more complex? How does such a view differ, if at all, from the classical utilitarianisms of Mill and Bentham? Provide an argument that this form of consequentialism can quell the misgivings that Nozick articulates by means of his “Experience Machine” examples.
