Nursing as a profession, science and art the profession or practice of providing care for the
sick and infirm.
Caring as its foundation, subscribes to the following core values which are vital components in
the development of a professional nurse and are therefore emphasized in the BSN program
Love of people respect for the dignity of each person regardless of creed, color, gender and
political affiliation
Love of country patriotism (civic duty, social responsibility and good governance)
Love of country preservation and enrichment of he environment and culture heritage
Nurisng as profession Nursing is not simply a collection of specific skills, and not simply a
person trained to perform specific tasks
A profession No one factor absolutely differentiates a job from a profession, but the difference
is important in terms of how you practice.
Nurses practice in many specialties with differing levels of prescription authority.
Profession has been defined as an occupation that requires extensive education or a calling
that requires special knowledge, skill, and preparation.
Professionalism refers to professional character, spirit or methods. It is a state of attributes, a
way of life that implies responsibility and commitment.
Professionalization is the process of becoming professional, that is, of acquiring
characteristics considered to be professional.
Profession Its requirement of prolonged, specialized training to acquire a body of knowledge
pertinent to the role to be performed;
Profession An orientation of the individual toward service, either to a community or to an
organization
Nursing as Science Nursing is a legitimate scientific discipline rooted in theory, ongoing
research and evidence.
Nursing is widely considered as an art and a science, wherein caring forms the theoretical
framework of nursing.
Nursing and Caring are grounded in a relational understanding, unity, and connection
between the professional nurse and the patient.
Art of nursing is the intentional creative use of oneself, based upon skill and expertise, to
transmit emotion and meaning to another.
Everybody knows that the nursing profession has two different sides—it is both science and
art ... It is more than just knowing it is doing
Autonomy is an essential element of professional nursing that involves the initiation of
independent nursing interventions without medical orders.
Caregiver you help patients maintain and regain health, manage disease and symptoms, and
attain a maximal level of function and independence through the healing process.
Advocate you protect your patient’s human and legal rights and provide assistance in asserting
these rights if the need arises.
Educator this explain concepts and facts about health, describe the reason for routine care
activities, demonstrate procedures such as self-care activities, reinforce learning or patient
behaviour, and evaluate the patient’s progress in learning.
Communicator Your effectiveness as a communicator is central to the nurse-patient
relationship. It allows you to know your patient including their strength, weaknesses, and needs.
Manager coordinates the activities of members of the nursing staff in delivering nursing care
and has personnel, policy and budgetary responsibility for a specific nursing unit or
responsibility.
Caring is one of their leading qualities—but this shouldn’t necessarily be an assumed nursing
characteristic.
Strong communication skills are critical characteristics of a nurse. A nurse’s role relies on the
ability to effectively communicate with other nurses, physicians, disciplines across other units,
patients, and their families.
Empathy With nurses caring for perhaps thousands of patients throughout their careers, it can
be all too easy to become desensitized or remember what it was like to be a “nonclinical”
person. A characteristic of a good nurse is one that shows empathy to each patient, making a
true effort to put themselves in their patients’ shoes.
Attention to detail Nurses are undoubtedly under immense pressure as they balance receiving
orders from physicians with using their own knowledge skills and critical judgement to provide
the highest quality patient care. Add to this combination caring for multiple patients
simultaneously, and the risk for human error can seem almost inevitable.
Problem Solving skills While clinical knowledge and training is taught throughout a nurse’s
education, on the job training is the most effective way to help shape a nurse’s problem solving
skills. And although years of experience can help hone this skill, some naturally possess better
problem-solving skills as part of their qualities and traits of a nurse.
Stamina The physical demand on nurses is perhaps one of the most underestimated aspects of
their careers.
Sense of humor To derive satisfaction from such a mentally and physically exhausting career,
nurses that can find time for a laugh are typically more successful in their roles.
Commitment to patient advocacy As one of the leading qualities of a nurse leader, a great
nurse understands that patient advocacy is a mindset that must be practiced every day, with
every patient, throughout every stage of the care continuum. Many patients enter a hospital or
healthcare setting disoriented, confused, and unable to truly “speak up” and advocate for their
safety. Having a nurse that practices with a strong passion for patient advocacy will ensure
they’re always fighting for the very best care for their patients.
Willingness to learn functions as a systematic guide to client-centered care with 5 sequential

____________the nurse must use critical thinking to focus on each aspect of communication so
the interactions can be purposeful and effective.
____________With technological improvements and breakthrough studies in science, the
healthcare industry (and healthcare workers) must prove to be successfully adaptive to provide
the highest quality patient care possible. Nurses spend more bedside time with patients than
any other role in healthcare and their willingness to learn and put new knowledge into practice is
one of the leading traits of a good nurse.
____________While having a strong willingness to learn is an important skill in a good nurse,
putting that knowledge into successful practice requires an ability to think critically—especially in
high-stress situations. A nurse with highly functioning critical thinking skills is one of the most
important characteristics of a professional nurse.
____________Balancing multiple patients, stressful care settings, and competing priorities is no
small feat during a 12-hour shift. Having the ability to implement effective time management is a
key personality trait for nursing, as is being able to concentrate on the most critical issues first,
which isn’t necessarily the patient/family that’s demanding the most.
______________While most nurses approach their careers with patient care in mind, many will
unexpectedly transition into leadership roles. Unfortunately, it’s all too common for this
promotion to arrive without adequate training, development opportunities, or sufficient
support/mentorship.
_______________It’s important to note that as veteran nurses leave the healthcare industry
and begin retirement, they’re taking with them years of experience and knowledge that cannot
be quickly replaced. As nursing leaders work to bring new nurses in the door, most available
candidates are predominantly new graduate nurses—a stark contrast to their predecessors in
terms of experience and the many patient care skills and knowledge that can only come with
time and practice.
_________________ is defined as the total system in which nurses provide care. It's made up
of the care delivery model (structure and processes), teamwork (relationships), and values that
facilitate nurses' contributions to both patient outcomes and the environment.
_________________was designed around an efficacy model that seeks to get many tasks
accomplished in a short period of time. A charge nurse works in tandem with the physician and
ensures that the patient receives optimum care. The principle idea of functional nursing is for
nurses to be assigned tasks, not patients.
________________ The team nursing model of care involves pairing nurses who work as a
team to deliver patient care. This model utilizes the diversity of skills, education, and
qualification level of the entire staff. Team members work collaboratively and share
responsibility.
_______________is a nursing model where one nurse provides total care to a single patient
or a group of patients during his/her shift. During that shift, all the patient needs are addressed
by the nurse, and in some cases, the nurse issues care until the end of the patient's medical
needs.
_______________is when a single nurse is identified as the point of contact and primary
caregiver for a patient during his or her particular hospital stay or other episode of care.
_______________is a method of nursing practice which emphasizes continuity of care by
having one nurse provide complete care for a small group of inpatients within a nursing unit of
a hospital. This type of nursing care allows the nurse to give direct patient care.
______________is integral to a nurse's job. The Theory of Human Caring invites nurses to
attend to their consciousness, intentionality and mindfulness in the moment — to be present.
______________is any deliberate activity that we do to provide for our physical, mental, and
spiritual well-being. It is important for workers in every field, but especially for nurses, who
