A nursing student is talking to the instructor about developing professional behavior. Which action does the instructor recommend to the student in order to access information that may be useful in developing professional demeanor?
A) Join the America Nurses Association (ANA).
B) Join the National Student Nurses Association (NSNA).
C) Read the Nurse Practice Act.
D) Use the Internet to obtain information.
Answer: B
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 for members 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.
