Professional socialization:
Part 1:
Professional socialization. Discuss how the criteria of a profession are achieved during the process of professional socialization.
– Lora Claywell (2009) describes four stages of professional socialization in nursing. Read the attached chapter and summarize the stages.
Identify which stage you are experiencing. Describe your rationale.
– Identify two barriers that could interfere with your ability to accomplish the fourth stage. For each barrier, identify resources that can assist you to overcome the barrier. Explain.
Part 2:
Claywell (2009) discusses 8 areas of differences between LPN and RN roles: assessment skills; patient teaching skills; communication skills; educational preparation; intravenous therapy; legal responsibilities; nursing care planning; and thinking skills. Research 3 of these areas and provide supporting evidence how the differences you selected are integral for implementing the role of the RN.
Use the nursing literature to illustrate the areas you selected and how they affect the provision of safe, effective patient care.
Your conclusion should describe your plan for socialization into the role of the professional nurse.
