When speaking with a nursing student about the nursing profession, the student states, "I'm so nervous about taking the NCLEX, but I'm excited also; your nurse manager asked if I wanted to work here!"
Which stage of commitment development is exemplified by this student nurse?
A) The integrated stage
B) The testing stage
C) The passionate stage
D) The exploratory stage
Answer: A
The commitment to a profession develops in five stages; exploratory, testing, passionate, quiet and bored, and integrated. The integrated stage is the final stage of commitment. Individuals who reach this stage have integrated both positive and negative elements of the profession into a more flexible, complex, and enduring form of commitment. They act out their commitment as a matter of habit. These students are in the final stages of their nursing program and are beginning to see themselves as nurses, eager to take the NCLEX-RN ® and begin employment.
