Q To prepare for this Vision Board activity and discussion, think about your take-homes from the video and the readings. The use of the term “professional” implies the formation of professional identity and accountability for one’s professional image. As professionals, nurses are knowledge workers who use a well¬ delineated and broad knowledge base for practice. Professional nursing requires strong critical reasoning, clinical judgment, communication, and assessment skills. The professional nurse also requires the development and demonstration of an appropriate set of values and an ethical framework for practice. As advocates for high-quality care for all patients, nurses are knowledgeable and active in the policy processes defining healthcare delivery and systems of care.
