My professional history includes positions such as nursing in my country as well as a staff in Hollydale Lodge, a low care nursing house in Melbourne. As a nurse in my country, I can observe the dangerous signals on the patients. When I work in Hollydale Lodge, I understand the procedure of living in a nursing home.

Professional Mission Statement The knowledge I gained in this Professional Roles and Value course is that nursing has many professional roles. The changes of nursing from earlier history to today show a promise to the advancement and development of different nursing career opportunities in the future. Understanding regulatory agency, professional nursing organization, nursing history, professional nursing figures, theories, and nursing code of ethics, my knowledge has broadened in nursing. The functional differences between a regulatory agency and professional nursing organization made me aware of the benefits and services they offer for nursing.
High quality, accessible, and patient care which is considered to be patient-centered is crucial for quick and quality recovery (Wilkinson, 2012). Plans require visions that involve the creation of interprofessional competencies by students who are planning to take up nursing as their profession. Providing such skills to students will ensure that they get into the workforce ready to engage in the effective creation of teamwork and even team-based care (Eastman, 2010). My current station of work is an example where continuing competence is to build on each professional nurse. They are expected to engage in interdisciplinary collaboration so as to ensure best practices are adhered to.
While Helen defined professionalism, she described as “personal appearance, having knowledge or seeking out knowledge and speak from a point of knowledge”. A resource nurse believes that professionalism carries the image of an efficient nurse and thus, representing the mission of an organization. Furthermore, professionalism prevents from having any conflicts with other staff and can carry effective communication to other patient and families. Being a resource nurse, professionalism sets examples for other direct care staff to comply
Introduction Worldwide today there are about 14 million nurses of which in 2015 136854 were found to be in South Africa, who serve as the core of the health care system (Morteza, et al., 2012) (Anon., 2015). Over the years nursing has evolved, with the professional identity of nurses changing from merely being seen as doctor’s assistants to being important members of the health care team. Professional identity is described as a career or occupational identity which is a component of an individual’s overall identity (Johnson, et al., 2012). It is said to be “ a sense of self that is derived and perceived from the role we take on in work that we do” which is amplified by one’s societal standing, how you interact with others and interpretations of one’s experiences (Johnson, et
Researchers utilized nursing Facebook groups as well as emailing recent graduates from a university to find participants. The results yielded that there was a growing problem with burnout in new graduate nurses, they reported that 51.5% of the participants met the benchmark for potential burnout (Dwyer et al., 2019, p. 40) In order to better support new graduate nurses the researchers recommended a transitional program. The article highlighted that nursing preceptors alone may not be the answer to preventing burnout, but could be a useful component to bettering the transition of new nurses. A seasoned nurse can help ease the transition of nursing school to the actual profession, it can give the new nurse someone to talk to and improve their working environment support.
Description: In week 7 we had visited Wesburn Manor, the Long-term Care (Clinical Placement) setting. It was our first time there, therefore as a group, we oriented the place. At this time, we went to each nursing station on each floor and introduced ourselves from the organization we were from and how we will be providing patient care to the clients in this setting. We were educated by our clinical instructor on the different access codes in the building, the policies and guidelines, our assigned floor and the appointed personal support worker. Our role of professionalism as a nursing student was represented as we came prepared and greeted each healthcare and staff member.
What is your perception on professional boundaries? Professional boundaries are guidelines that help to keep a nurse and patient’s relationship professional. Professional boundaries help to keep the nurses focused on patient care and the patients focus on meeting their health care related goals. Give one example for each of the following and explain-
The concepts of this theory include function of professional nursing, presenting behavior of the patient, immediate reaction, nursing process discipline as well as improvement (Petiprin, 2016). One of the roles of a nurse is to meet the immediate needs of the patient. Patients typically present to a facility with a requirement that should be identified and met by the nurse. The nurse should be able to identify the problematic situation from the patient to be able to address the need for help. The patient develops their perception of events and circumstances based on their automatic feelings and thoughts which causes the patient to have an immediate response.
The Meaning and Practice of Professionalism: Concepts & Constructs Across the wide expanse of endless international conferences there has been a lot of discussion, speculation and predictions about the changing nature and future shape of education. While the most obvious topic within the global debate currently centers around the benefits and wonders of technology for learners, very little attention has been given to the present state and evolutionary condition of professionalism within the field itself. The problem of professionalism is it is an abstract construct making it difficult to define and underpin. Secondly, in view of this complexity can it be measured and more importantly by whom?
Social and leadership skills I must knowledge that one of the most stirred up character within my personality is social interaction. Becoming a part of a community of students, lectures and authority etc. has taught me beneficial skills related to interaction. I have tried to create time for social and professional network, make friends and learn leadership skills, which am certain they are useful qualities that could take me far in my career.

Before taking this course, I wasn’t really sure what professionalism looked like – other than just wearing a suit. Through this course I believe that I have grown into a young professional. I am able to walk into my mentor’s office and not feel out of place, write a professional email without using a template that you supply, and conduct mentor meetings and interviews in a professional manner. As a result, I have noticed growth outside of ISM as well. I feel that I communicate with my teachers and other adults far better than I did
The Heart of a Professional At first, participating in this essay writing contest seems to be intimidating for me. I expect only the leaders and achievers to be the ones who are known to be most professional in the things they do. Also, I know I still need to learn a lot about being professional at work. But as a Young Christian, I want to share my insights and experiences. I want to give back & thank my Maker.
Professional is “a person who acts professionally is conscientious in actions, knowledgeable in the subject, and responsible to self and others” (Pottery & Perry, 2015, P. 3). Professionalism in the workplace, to me as the nurse, means that someone can think critically, provide safe quality care, communicate therapeutically with the patient, and has standards of accountability and punctuality. Critical thinking is “the active, purposeful, organized, cognitive process used to carefully examine one’s thinking and the thinking of other individuals” (Pottery & Perry, 2015, P. 1178). If the nurse thinks critically, he or she will able to provide safe quality care and excellent nursing judgments, respect themselves and others and prioritize care needed.
