1. Discuss the development of professional nursing roles.
a. Nursing is not simply a collection of specific skills, and you are not simply
a person trained to perform specific tasks. Nursing is a profession. No one
factor absolutely differentiates a job from a profession, but the difference
is important in terms of how you practice. To act professionally you
administer quality patient- centered care in a safe, prudent, and
knowledgeable manner. You are responsible and accountable to yourself,
your patients, and your peers.
b. Health care advocacy groups recognize:
i. Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) future of Nursing:
Campaign of Action.
ii. Institute of Medicine (IOM) publication of The Future of Nursing
2. Describe educational programs available for professional registered
nurse education.
a. Current knowledge and practice standards is essential that you socialized
within the profession and practice to fully understand and apply this
knowledge and develop professional expertise.
b. Insightful and compassionate approach
c. Critical thinking skills are essential to nursing. When providing nursing
care, you need to make clinical judgments and decisions about your
patients’ health care needs based on kewledge, experience, critical
thinking attitudes, and standards of care. Use critical thinking skills and
reflections to help you gain and interpret specific knowledge, integrate
knowledge from clinical experience and become a lifelong learner.
