What is the issue most central to the controversy over level of entry into professional nursing?
1. Professional title
2. Reimbursement for services
3. Definition of a profession
4. Cost of tuition
Correct Answer: 3
The central issue involved in level of entry into professional nursing is the definition of a profession. Although nursing currently meets the criteria for a profession, some criteria are met at a minimal level. Many feel that a baccalaureate degree would prepare the nurse to better meet those criteria. Professional title and reimbursement for services are also issues associated with entry level, but they are not as central to the issue as is the definition of a profession. Tuition cost is an issue with all levels of entry into practice.
