Professional Roles & Values- C304
Task # 1
Adrianna Wassom
Western Governors University
Nurses a with Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree (BSN) are known for their skills in critical thinking, leadership, case management, health promotion, and for their ability to practice across a variety of inpatient and outpatient healthcare settings. These nurses are well-prepared to meet the demands placed on today's nurse. The role of professional nursing organizations is to advocate for the nursing profession and for the nurses working in the profession. These organizations work to create proactive work to help maintain a healthy nursing profession that not only thinks about the needs of the client but also of the nurses caring for the client. Being an advocate if one of the main roles as a nurse and these organizations do that for the nurses. Professional nursing organizations pertain to my professional nursing practice because I’m a member of the American Nurses Association (ANA). By being a member of this organization I can access educational resources and other professional tools that I need to assist me in my career as a registered nurse. Regulatory agencies are also an important part of the nursing profession. Nursing schools are governed by several regulatory agencies to make sure that patients are being cared for safely and that the schools have accreditation. Without these agencies in place, a school could let a student graduate without having the proper knowledge and skills that they need to work as a nurse. These regulatory agencies regulate education, licensure, and makes sure that nurses and nursing students are adhering to the laws of their state and are working within their scope of practice. These agencies pertain to my nursing practice because I earned my nursing license through a community nursing school, took the NCLEX exam, and also got a nursing license in another state by endorsement for my job. All of these actions that I have taken
