Image of Nursing Committee, Summer Memo Hello NSNA Members!
I am so excited that you are here! I’m MacKenzie Simmons and I am the 2023-2024 NSNA Imprint Editor and Image of Nursing (ION) Committee Chair. Whether you are an active member of NSNA or new to NSNA, I am pleased to share the NSNA Image of Nursing Committee’s first update with all of you! The Image of Nursing is all about defining what a nurse is. The committee focuses on redirecting the public view from inaccurate stereotypes of nurses to ones filled with truth and trust, promoting a sense of professional identity for nursing students within their careers as future nurses, and preparing students to have successful endeavors in their jobs as nurses. The goal is to dispel any misconceptions about the image of nurses that the public may have developed and re-educate them on what is true about the profession of nursing. We also educate nursing students on how to promote a positive image of nursing and help students understand the meaning of professionalism on and off the job. The Image of Nursing Committee has chosen the theme “Beyond the Scrubs” for this year’s theme. Read More |
