Abstract
Abstract: This qualitative descriptive study explored the perceptions of 63 prelicensure undergraduate nursing students about their learning experiences and the formation and development of professional identity in nursing (PIN). Students enrolled in a required course that included PIN concepts completed a guided reflective writing assignment. Four themes emerged with data analysis: 1) learning and applying ethics and values, 2) nursing knowledge is specific to nursing practice, 3) all nurses should be leaders, and 4) demonstrating professional comportment. Implications include effective use of reflective writing assignments to facilitate student PIN formation. Future research is warranted.
期刊介绍:
A publication of the National League for Nursing, Nursing Education Perspectives is a peer-reviewed, bimonthly journal that provides evidence for best practices in nursing education. Through the publication of rigorously designed studies, the journal contributes to the advancement of the science of nursing education. It serves as a forum for research and innovation regarding teaching and learning, curricula, technology, and other issues important to nursing education. Today, as nurse educators strive to advance research in nursing education and break away from established patterns and chart new pathways in nursing education, Nursing Education Perspectives is a vital resource. Nursing Education Perspectives is housed in the NLN Chamberlain College of Nursing for the Advancement of the Science of Nursing Education.
