Nursing Professionalism Tips
A nur is a key link between a hospital patient and a doctor, providing care, information and a range of important health rvices. In that role, a nur must maintain a n of professionalism and decorum with both patients and hospital staff.
A good professional nur will have pride in her work every day, even when she is tired or has worked 12 hours in a row. This means going above and beyond the call o
f duty when needed. In addition, nurs should take pride in their appearance, pride in their medical knowledge and pride in their interactions, showing dedication both to job and patients.
A nur’s bedside manner is an important aspect of overall professionalism. A nur must be friendly and considerate, a good listener, respectful and responsive. However, professional nurs should not try to become best friends with their patients or tell patients their life stories. A good bedside manner also involves professional distance. Asking patients how they are feeling today is fine, but a nur discussing the sordid details of her own terrible day is not.
Nurs also exhibit professionalism when pitching in as a team. This might mean working late one day, changing shifts with another nur who has a personal issue to resolve or even assisting nurs in other departments if there are shortages. Nurs must work as part of a care team that includes doctors, physical therapists, psychiatrists and other nurs, as well as other health care professionals who goal is to help patients recover.
Nurs should maintain all educational and certification requirements. This means taking continuing education cours as needed and pursuing additional education in interest areas to bolster skills and knowledge.

How to Set Professional Nursing Goals
If you want to grow in your career as a nur, you must be motivated to engage in lifelong learning. Although your professional nursing goals will be significantly influenced by your own personal values, nursing education at all levels must be expanded to include training in other disciplines. An expected shortage of nurs is likely to increa in job opportunities, so preparing for a nursing career will involve much more than broad goals.
1. Ask yourlf what the philosophy of nursing means to you.
Define your priorities as they apply to patient care. Determine whether you have the nurturing qualities needed to place concern for your patients above all el. Decide if attaining a clinical specialization will help you achieve your patient care g
oals. Find out if an organization for which you want to be employed shares the same philosophy of care and professional accountability that you do.
2. Differentiate between short-term and long-term career goals.
Write down the goals you want to achieve on paper as a reminder about where you want to be in your career within a particular period of time. Make your ambitions easier to manage by tting smaller goals as you work toward reaching a larger one. For instance, if you want to work as a nur outside of the traditional hospital tting, you may need to get additional training or go on to earn an advanced degree. Having an advanced degree will make more job opportunities available to you.
