Improving the Image of Nursing Discussion
Improving the Image of Nursing Discussion
Describe the way in which nurses are perceived by your patients and the public. How do the best known nurses currently depicted in the media represent the type of nursing image you wish to promote?
Speaking of image, do you feel that no longer wearing traditional white uniforms has had an impact on how nurses are perceived? How is your clothing an important part of your public image?
What could you do to improve the professional image of nurses?
