What is the best way nurses can project a positive image of the profession?
“Nurses project a positive image when they have a positive attitude and remember to smile and be pleasant to their patients and co-workers. Dedication and professionalism are communicated through our actions when we take the time to show we care about them as an individual, like addressing them by name, asking their opinion and including them in their plan of care. Additionally, honesty is not only central to professionalism but it’s what patients expect – and deserve – from nurses.” – Sally A.
