not a physical lens

What are your thoughts?

“A worldview is not a physical lens but, rather, a philosophical and intellectual lens though which a person sees and interprets everything one encounters” (Bogue, 2020, para 4). It uses people’s personal experiences and history, so each worldview is different. My worldview is that spirituality is important but different for everyone. Everyone has their own concept of a spiritual guide, higher power, God or whatever the title may be. A person grows and builds a foundation of life through their higher power.

Because I believe everyone has their own idea of a higher power, I will be open to the beliefs of my patients. I will be patient and understanding and nonjudgemental. My patients will be comfortable talking to me and telling me their needs. I am this way with friends and family and will carry this with me through my nursing career.
