Once a DON asked me to define PROFESSIONALISM,and I really had to fake a definition for her. Currently I work with a collegue whom I really respect that uses the term not infrequently.This has caused me to ponder the question:WHAT IS PROFESSIONALISM?
When pressed I would have to say that Professionalism refers to upholding ethical standards and maintaining objectivity.
Perhaps some of you out there in Nursingland could could provide me further insights on:WHAT IS PROFESSIONALISM?
Thank you
