Just to add to the mix, I suggest that
list members might re-read Schon’s “The
reflective practitioner” and his contrasting the “traditional
professional” with the reflective practitioner. I find glancing down the list
occasionally a useful reminder of how we should behave with our
charges/customers/client.
Merry Christmas

Professionalism........
Agreed!!...however would add
maintained "body of knowledge"...there are some in our profession
that apparently feel once basic education is completed and they pass the boards
that gives them a lifetime guarantee they are qualified nurses until retirement
at 80...nursing changes daily...the medical delivery system changes daily!

It would be interesting to know what
you mean by the term 'professionalism' or even what makes something a
'profession'? Personally I go believe that a profession is based on a body of
knowledge, has a code of professional ethics and conduct, is self regulating
and offers a service. Therefore to be professional that is what one has to
follow. Is that not what we, as professionals are doing in these discussions?
