New graduate nurses often experience the socialization process as something of a reality shock when entering the workplace, but this is only a transition phase and can be worked through just as other transitions to come. Although each nurse’s socialization process will follow a similar path, it will vary somewhat because we are each unique individuals. Socialization into professional nursing is yet another transition phase that the nurse may choose to enter by furthering their education and commitment to the profession. As a nurse we must determine what our goals and ambitions are and act on them. Keywords: socialization, transitions, nursing, practice, professional, goals Socialization into Professional Nursing Socialization, according to Creasia and Friberg (2011, p.53), is “the process of becoming- acquiring knowledge and skills and internalizing attitudes and values specific to a given social group”.
Therefore with the knowledge nurses receive from the research will become the new recommendations and standards for nurses to practice on patients in the future. In research, nurses have different roles in providing evidence on improving the outcome of patient care in the nursing profession. For example, “Some nurses are developers of research and conduct studies to generate and refine the knowledge needed for practice” (Burns & Grove, 2011, p. 27) While other nurses use the evidence from research to improve the quality of care for the patients (Burns & Grove, 2011). Consequently all nurses from any field of the nursing profession will participate in one aspect or another regarding research since nursing is an ever continuing improvement

This includes the nurses, senior carers and carers as well as the others who have contribution in the overall aspects of the clients in the residential home.

This class in many ways has changed my nursing practice. It has made me look at my wants and needs as a nurse. It also has had me exam how I have been practicing and caring for the patient. I have learned about the process of reflection in my nursing practice, my beliefs within my practice, nursing ethics in my practice, delegation in my practice, and the importance of following evidence-based practice in my nursing. All of these topics have made me look at the way I practice as a nurse and have made me become a better nurse.
INTRODUCTION Nurses worldwide need to continually look for “solutions, choices and outcomes for patients that represent the best available knowledge internationally” (Hamer and Collinson 1999 p.4) to constantly improve and validate nursing care. The Nurses and Midwives Board New South Wales (NMB NSW) Strategic Plan 2004 to 2007 includes an objective to promote education and research related to contemporary practice and educational programs leading to registration, enrolment and authorisation (NMB NSW 2006 clause 2). The United Kingdom Nursing and Midwifery Council (UK NMC 2002 clause 6.5) require a registered nurse or midwife to maintain their professional knowledge and competence by delivering care based on current evidence, best practice and, where applicable and available, validated research. Such an objective can be achieved if nurses and midwives develop an understanding of the research process and demonstrate an ability to retrieve and critically assess research findings. Critical awareness is crucial to being a registered nurse or midwife.
Mastering techniques in research, teamwork, communication, and certifications I must possess. There are also milestones and barriers that I have to overcome to achieve my goals. My goals must be set to give me focus on advancing my career and accomplishing my goals. “Goal-setting is one of the foundational cornerstones of everything - our success, the way we make choices with our time, the quality of life we will live - everything is impacted when we have clear, written goals.” (“Setting goals is important,” 2010 para 4). Professional short and long- term goals My professional short-term goal is to become a critical care nurse.
Because the values and responsibilities of nurses is shaped by history the report was based on this idea, and was developed as a historical evidence grounded modern data. History shows evidence of what nurses can achieve, like how nurses were the founders of community health practices. History also helps in arguing about major policy issues. For example if nurses are allowed to participate as leaders and valued clinicians only will better, quality and easy health access can be achieved. Nursing historians are important to give advice on policy matters, so that all the interested parties can achieve the same goal and better patient care.
Nursing has become a much demanded career and along with it many educational theory and practice concepts has emerged. More knowledgeable, skilled, and an art nurses are most sorted out. A well prepared nurse is necessary in this technological highly developed health field to cultivate a potentially mechanistic environment. To promote this, Doh/ENB,2001a “Stresses that the environments should provide an arena in which students can experience good quality care and treatment of patients and clients” As such, environment in practical area for learning, places an important role in developing a high quality nurses. The objective of this paper is therefore to critically analyse the significant of practice arena in facilitating learning and how I as a registered nurse practitioner can induce learning in the practice area for a better learning environment.
Nursing knowledge expands to create a meaningful, holistic approach to providing health care needs and meeting the challenges of the social aspects of patient care. A profession must have advanced knowledge and seek improvement. Nursing has been a changing force in health care. It combines research, evidence base models and is moving toward reaching the goal of a profession. It uses a code of ethics, altruistic services, registration, a governing body
I note that their knowledge and experience from multiples years of nursing prepare them for position that they are now in. The staff nurse provided more direct involvement in her role on the team by educating her patients during care. The nurse educator, on the other hand, was involved with her team indirectly by educating the staff on patient care issues. The interviewees’ position on promoting quality care outcomes requires them both to be directly engaged in the plan of care for the patient’s on their respective units. Although national evidence based research effects nursing as a whole, the staff nurse believes that nursing research has greatly improved her area.
