A Strong Professional Identity in Nursing: Impact on Education and Practice
1:00 PM - 2:00 PM (ET)
Co-hosted by AACN and the American Organization for Nursing Leadership
Understanding and embracing professional Identity in nursing offers new language and new knowledge for the journey—helping nurses heal, flourish, and expertly care for others. Research shows that nurses with a strong professional identity in nursing stand out as having a higher impact on patient outcomes than those who do not. Further, a strong professional identity allows nurse leaders to distinguish between their disciplinary core—the professional identity of nursing—and a variety of functional roles in which they may advance over time. Forming and fostering one’s professional identity are important to advance the nursing discipline.
Webinar speakers will share the contemporary language of professional identity in nursing, including definitions and examples of the four domains: values and ethics, knowledge, nurse as leader, and comportment. They will also share findings from US and international professional identity research and models for application/implementation in both education and practice settings.
Objectives:
- Explain how professional identity in nursing is different than professionalism.
- Discuss how the general definition of professional identity and using the four domains offer new language and knowledge to advance patient outcomes.
- Describe the impact that developing a strong professional identity in nursing can have on both nursing education and practice.
