Description
The purpose of this paper is for you to examine the philosophy of nursing and/or professional

Select a concept from your organization’s nursing philosophy or professional practice
model. Example (safety, patient satisfaction, quality healthcare, accessible
healthcare, responsibility, caring).
Provide the organizational definition if stated. Also list your organization’s mission
and vision statement. If the organizational definition, mission and/or vision are not
stated, explain this in your paper.
From the nursing literature find several definitions and uses of the concept (as in
Assignment 1)
From your reading and the organization’s definition, develop your own definition of
the concept as if you are preparing it to submit to your workplace as a needed
refinement (why you have modified the definition). In other words, modify it as you
would like to see it developed into the framework and organizational structure of the
facility and tell why you feel the definition of the concept should be modified.
