Professional practice paper
Instructor details:
1.You will write on the topic outlined below and put it in a WORD document. Do not
paste the questions into the document. You may use headings, but keep the
headings short, less than one line. This is a paper, not a list of answers to a list of
questions.
2.After reading Chapter 1 in the text, you have seen that nursing is sometimes seen
as an “emerging profession†rather than a true profession. Write one to two
paragraphs about your perception of nursing as a profession.
The nursing graduate degrees are evolving, is there a degree or certification that
you are interested in pursuing? Chapter 4 discusses examples of the master’s
degree programs and doctorate nursing programs. Describe the intended path of
your educational journey.
3.Describe a nursing organization that you are currently a member of or one that
you have an interest in joining as you move into your BSN. Look at the
organization’s web site and describe at least three benefits the organization may
offer to other nurses.
