15. DYNAMICS INVOLVED IN DEVELOPMENT and maintenance of
NURSING image:
 Have pride in your profession:
 Working together to acknowledge achievements will promote unity throughout the
nursing profession.
 Maintain a professional image:
 We must celebrate one another’s contributions. Collaboration between nursing
administrators, educators, and researchers will provide opportunities for nurses to
be recognized for their professional contributions.
 Get the nursing story in the media:
 Nursing does not have a strong relationship with the media. By publicly sharing
aspects of our work, nurses will gain more recognition and thus help to enhance
the public image of nursing.

professional organizations and community issues, participating on
committees, and writing articles for professional journals are ways

17. NURSING IMAGE OF ITSELF:
 Our greatest advocate is client,as we reach out to care for
them heart to heart,they will reach out to work with us hand
in hand.
 Individuals attitudes,feelings and perception are reflected in
ones appearance,behavior and outcomes of interaction with
others including clients,peers and public.
 Collectively,these individuals nurses attitudes, behavior and
interaction constitute nursing self-image.
 Nurses who verbalize comments such as “I am only a staff
nurse” or “I was just following the physician orders” are not
improving the image of nursing.

image, they may believe to be a real nurse one must
work in hospital.

nursing students that “real” nurses are involved in
variety of setting.
 Real nurses engage in;
 Research, conduct deliveries in hospitals, consultation,
participate in ministry, administer anesthesia, provide
psychotherapy, collaborate with administration, working
in jail homes, clinics, hospice setting, colleges etc.
