The degree of professionalism of a group determines the image which it projects. There are two types of nurses - those who are dedicated to nursing as a career and those for whom nursing is merely a job. The latter group inhibits professional development and the reason for their existence can be sought in two areas - firstly their initial attitude and disposition and secondly the opportunities which were provided for socialisation and professionalisation during their training.
A professional person exhibits specific characteristics and to ensure a high degree of professionalism in nursing it is necessary to:
— select student nurses with care and according to predetermined criteria;
— use all opportunities to build positive attitudes;
— help students to develop an insight into professional affairs and the meaning and demands of professionalism by emphasising these aspects throughout training.
