Sponsored professional seminars: enhancing professionalism among baccalaureate nursing students.
If we are to emphasize professionalism within nursing, students need to understand the opportunities, responsibilities, and concerns that are integral to the nursing profession. Sharing ideas related to nursing practice in a specified area with practicing nurses, expert faculty, and a speaker provide students with a sense of excitement about their chosen career. The sponsored seminar series permits undergraduate nursing students to converse with their future colleagues over dinner, develop lasting relationships, and advance their learning in an area of interest.
