Professional Roles

[yakatchew]

I'm having a complete brain bubble here. I'm taking an online Professional Role Development and have an assignment that is throwing me off a bit. We're supposed to pick a professional nursing role and write a paper about it. Our textbook hasn't come in yet and searching online hasn't helped. Can ya'll give me some ideas as to what the different professional nursing roles there are? I want something other than CEO, Nurse Supervisor, or Floor Manager. Do you think Airflight Nurse, Wilderness Medicine Nurse or Forensic Nurse would fit the description? Or any other ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi there,

Had you considered case management, quality control, or nursing informatics?

Isn't every nurse a professional?

As stated above, start with the RN, Registered Professional Nurse.
