How do you perceive yourself as an RN? (Self image / professional identity)

[Kbungay]

Hello Everyone! I am I 4th year nursing student from Nova Scotia and I am currently doing a small research assignment on professional identity of the registered nurse. I would really appreciate if a few of you could help me out! Basically I just need to know: 1) when you became an RN (RN students are welcome to participate as well!) 2) where you currently practice (geographical location as well as which "field" of nursing) and 3) how you feel about yourself as an RN and how you feel about the role of the RN. The point of the assignment is to capture both an individual and collective image of the nursing profession through the eyes of a nurse. Thank you so much in advance for the help! I look forward to hearing what you think!
