The nursing instructor is planning to teach the students about methods of accessing information that would be useful for developing their professionalism. To accomplish this, the instructor suggests that the students:
1. Read the state nurse practice acts.
2. Join the America Nurses Association (ANA).
3. Use the Internet to obtain information.
4. Join the National Student Nurses Association (NSNA).
4. Join the National Student Nurses Association (NSNA).
Rationale:
The NSNA is an organization specifically for student nurses with a goal of assisting the student to foster their professionalism. Nurse practice acts do need to be read by students, but they denote laws, not professionalism. The ANA is practicing nursing, not students, although students may join. The NSNA focuses on students and is a better resource. The Internet is good for obtaining information and for networking but is not necessarily a help to the student who wishes to increase professionalism.
