A novice nurse is talking to the nurse mentor regarding the benefits of joining a professional organization. Which is the greatest benefit from becoming involved in a professional organization?
A) Establish networking to provide better client care.
B) Learn about new nursing products on the market.
C) Gain an appreciation of the history of nursing.
D) Increase knowledge of hospital policy.
Answer: A
Networking can help the nurse improve client care by learning techniques that other nurses employ to achieve goals. New products on the market are usually introduced by the hospital, although suggestions could be gleaned from others. Improved client care is the main goal. Other nurses in a network are not likely to inform the nurse regarding hospital policy. The history of nursing is interesting, but would not be the main reason for being involved in a professional organization.
