Professional Mission Statement
My mission statement as a nurse is to deliver compassionate and competent care to all
my clients and their family members. I promise to remain refined, honest, and specialized for
the entire period of my occupation. The profession of nursing has been identified to be a
noble occupation and all nurses are expected to strive for continuous health improvement of
their patients, with the aim of providing excellence in the care that is delivered (Mikaelian &
Stanley, 2016). While working as a nurse each day, I intend to display empathy and love
towards all patients, regardless of their backgrounds and ethnicities. My mission statement
also focuses on taking efforts to educate patients who have been diagnosed with substance
abuse, besides working in close association with social workers to help patients overcome
addiction, and live a meaningful life. While working with diverse patients, I intend to never
adopt a judgmental approach and will always try to deliver care that is tailored to the needs
and preferences of the patients.
Professional summary
Artefacts within nursing are considered to be human-made objects, which play an
important role in reflecting both the workplace and professional characteristics such as
norms, myths, values, sagas, rituals, symbols, and ceremonies, in relation to nursing practice.
Patient safety and high quality of the services delivered have been identified by me as the
cornerstone of excellent health care that is imperative for enhancing the health and wellbeing
of patients (Graban, 2018). Moreover, patient safety practices have been recognized as those
that are directly associated with a reduction in risk among patients, in relation to suffering
adverse health events, due to any nursing malpractice. I also have the competence of
conducting evidence based nursing that requires me to make correct decisions about the
health of a patient, relying on my clinical expertise, concomitant with relevant and current

material or research information that is available on the topic (the disease that my patients are
suffering from). This artefact has greatly enhanced my professional skills owing to the fact
that evidence based nursing is responsible for improving the health and safety of all patients,
while delivering care services in a manner that is cost-effective (LoBiondo-Wood & Haber,
2017). During my tenure as a nursing student, I have taken all possible steps to identify my
patients who are at a risk of suffering falls, in addition to taking necessary effort for the
implementation of successful fall prevention program. This artefact has played a major
influence on my professional role owing to the fact that falls have been identified as a matter
of public health concern.
