Auburn University College of Nursing Student

About Me
Hello, my name is Alexander Powell. I am currently a BSN student enrolled at Auburn University and I am set to graduate on May 10th 2025. I am from Tuscaloosa AL originally, but have had the best 4 years of my life here at Auburn.
My goal is to graduate, pass the NCLEX, and start working as the best nurse that I can be. I am a motivated and compassionate nursing student with hands-on clinical experience in diverse healthcare settings. Demonstrating strong clinical skills, critical thinking, and a commitment to patient-centered care. I am hoping to begin a career in a dynamic hospital environment while continuing my education in the future.

Personal Philosophy
Nursing to me is not just a job, it is a calling grounded in compassion, integrity, and a commitment to care for others. I believe that every patient should be treated with dignity, respect, and empathy, regardless of their background or circumstances. My philosophy of nursing is rooted in the belief that healing involves not only addressing physical needs but also nurturing emotional, psychological, and spiritual well-being.
I view nursing as both an art and a science. Listening, offering comfort, and being present in moments of vulnerability are as important to being a good nurse as knowing the ins and outs of treatment. The science involves applying evidence-based knowledge and critical thinking to deliver safe, effective, and individualized care. These two aspects allows me to support patients holistically and advocate for their best outcomes.
I am committed to lifelong learning and professional growth. I both understand and celebrate that healthcare is constantly evolving and that it is my responsibility to stay up to date. As a nurse, I see myself as a vital part of an interdisciplinary team, working collaboratively to promote health, prevent illness, and provide compassionate support throughout the continuum of care.
These values guide my daily practice and interactions with patients, families, and colleagues. Through empathy and ethical practice, I strive to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those I serve.
