Identity refers to an orientation toward something associated with a strong emotional attachment. Being a nurse is about executing a number of roles in service to health and health care that are intertwined with the identity, talents, and values of each individual. This identity provides substance and motivation for work, which leads to an emotional connection to the profession.
The ability to articulate expected behaviors is not the definition of identity.
Commitment does not necessarily reflect identity.
Understanding history does not lead to identity.
