Instructions:
This course includes a project with three
parts. Each part builds off prior knowledge to help you create your nurse
professional identity. In the first part, you examine the role of the nurse and
scope of practice, which will help you identify the nurses’ role. In the second
part, you describe the importance of the code of ethics in nursing, and examine
the standards of nursing practice for the role you are obtaining during the
nursing program. The final submission requires you to use the first two parts
of your assignment to explain your belief of caring in nursing, describe your
professional identity, and identify a potential professional organization that
you may join to help support your development.
