...There are numerous interpretations of the term ‘professional’ in education, and its affect on those affiliated with it as it can have many ramifications in the contexts of ‘professional’ being linked with quality teaching.This critical essay written by Jenny Johnston discusses differing ideas of professionalism in educational discourse, summarises and critically analyses a doctoral research project which highlights the complexities of educational change, along with bringing to light the pure lack of evidence of the link between professionalism and quality education, while discussing the impact upon teachers. There is no one definition for the term ‘professional’, nor one idea about the professionalism in education. Johnston uses the differing ideas of multiple authors to highlight this, along with the differing levels of ideas about how easily teacher quality can be improved through professionalisation. To begin, Johnston explains Sachs’ (2011) view that professionalism and its definition has been a struggle between union leaders, bureaucrats, and academics. However, Johnston notes that teacher’s voices have been invalidated as Sachs omitted teacher involvement in this process. Continuing from this, the perspective that professional...

...Pharmacy students, upon entering their institutions, have to abide by a code of conduct usually higher than other students following a different career path. Students specialising in law, marketing or accounting do not have to maintain the high standard of professionalism that pharmacy students have to demonstrate whilst in school. Students have deemed this set of rules unfair and professionals insist that it has to be maintained in order to fully understand the grasp of pharmacy as a profession. Personally, I understand the need to abide by these rules but also agree with other students that is not necessarily fair. The profession,pharmacy, deals with lives. The three most important aspect of pharmacy are quality, safety and efficacy of medicines and these in turn help to save patients’ lives, to improve their health and to manage chronic diseases while at the same time maximising the comfort of the patient. It is important to demonstrate a degree of professionalism for patients to ensure their lives in our care. This level of competence can only be exhibited upon entering the profession if students are taught right from day one. It improves the chances of perfecting skills that have been taught and instilled from college and therefore of providing better services to the patients.

A pharmacist or even a pharmacy...

...profession or a professional person”. This means that there are characteristics that differentiate a professional from a novice, an amateur or a voluntary person. It is important to understand the following based on the above definition, if there are two people working in an organization, one might be termed a professional and the other one not so. Professionalism is an individual trait and in this essay, we will examine the characteristics, strengths, behaviour and role of a professional in a team. Firstly, working in a busy environment can be challenging. Each day you encounter situations that test your personality, intelligence and beliefs. So what are the characteristics that define a truly professional person? Professionals understand that the client is the priority. The organization exists solely for the purpose of providing their services to clients, therefore professionals consider it their duty to ensure that said service is delivered efficiently by them at all times regardless of whatever personal issues they might be going through because happy clients are the bedrock of any organization; similarly professionals seek to constantly improve their full knowledge in their field of occupation. Although most people are content to be at the level they are as long as they get paid at the end of the month, true professional understands the need to continuously research and improve self so as to be of better service to clients and organization; and also, professionals take pride...

...This essay is going to discuss my learning about Interprofessional working (IPW) and Interprofessional education (IPE). Pollard et al., (2010) defined Interprofessional working as “the process where members of different professions and or agencies work together to provide integrated health and or social care for the benefit of service users”. The two day IP conference (2011), was a great opportunity to meet different professionals and agencies from different areas of health and social care profession and share their views and understanding on IP working and IP learning. The Centre for Advancement of Interprofessional Education (CAIPE) has defined IPE as “Interprofessional Education occurs when two or more professions learn with, from and about each other to improve collaboration and the quality of care" (CAIPE, 2002). CAIPE uses the term "Interprofessional education" (IPE) to include all such learning in academic and work based settings before and after qualification, adopting an inclusive view of "professional". Based on the key themes, we discussed how Interprofessional collaboration can provide best possible care to the service users and analyse where the services are lacking. Through group discussions, key note addresses and seminars, I was able to learn about the communication issues between the health and social care professionals, contrasting professional perspectives and values, ethics within teams and stereotyping, power imbalances and team processes ( Fletcher, 2008)...

...The mission of the Iowa Board of Nursing is to protect the public by regulating the licensing of nurses and making sure they receive continued education (Iowa Board of Nursing, IBON). It outlines the laws and practices of a particular state and regulates that all nurses in that state must perform duties to those standards. The IBON also implements the state laws related to nursing programs and schools and administers the nurse practice act. (Jacob, 2011). Basically, the board is responsible for upholding the laws and rules of nursing. The American Nursing Association (ANA) has some of the same interests, but the main goal of the ANA is to promote and protect the nursing profession and help nurses succeed and be recognized as the great people that they are. The ANA goes to bat to promote new standards in health care and promote and improve nurses’ rights in the workplace. They also go to the legislation with new acts that will help improve overall standards in healthcare. Provisions influence the way nurses practice health care. As in provision one, it talks about practicing with compassion and respect; we as nurses use this concept every day (American Nurses Assoc). I have compassion for all of my patients, no matter what their social status, their ethnic background, or their religious preference; I treat them all with the same level of caring and respect. This respect and compassion also goes towards the people that I work with every day; I care about their feelings...

...1. Do you think Mindy dresses appropriately for a professional interview? No, I do not think Mindy is dress appropriately for a professional interview. Mindy look like she is dress to go work at a tattoo shop with the piercings, and tattoos she have. I believe that Mindy’s dress is inappropriate for the medical facility because her hair is colored different bright colors, she has facial piercings, her clothes do not cover her body and undergarments are showing, she has on too much make up, she is wearing dangling earrings and bracelet, her tattoos are not covered up and she has on open toed shoes. Most employers have a standard for dress codes. If she is not breaking any of the dress codes, then nothing can be done to make her dress more professionally. The numbers I choose that would best fit her for a professional interview is 1, 2, and 1. 2. Does personal "style" detract from the medical facility's air of professionalism? Mindy’s personal “style” does detract from the facilities air of professionalism. She looks like she should be working in a tanning salon or a tattoo parlor, not a professional medical clinic. 3. What are your thoughts on how and why it is important to project a professional image at the interview? In order to project a professional image, one should follow the dress code established by the business. You should be polite and helpful in any situation presented to you. You should use tact when talking to others and be respectful of others opinions....

...placed on a back burner and sometimes even forgotten completely. Empowerment is an important part of the human services profession and therefore the barriers that affect empowerment associated with human services need to be looked at and addressed. Barriers Associated with Empowerment Within human services empowerment is a key aspect of helping individuals seeking help. Human services professionals work with individuals in need of help that the individual is unable to achieve on his or her own. Where human service professionals have an array of information and guidance available to him or her, clients that seek out assistance from human services professionals do not. This is where empowerment begins to take shape and where human services individuals start encountering barriers in the attempts of empowerment. Barriers become present in many different shapes and forms when empowerment is concerned. One of the biggest barriers that a human service professional encounters in regards to empowerment is resistance. When human services professionals begin helping individuals the human service professional works on the individual’s self-esteem and empowers the individual to become independent. Many times this empowerment is met with resistance caused by the fear that an individual has with the change that will occur. This resistance can be a large barrier in the way of empowerment for the client and the human services...

...Continuing Professional Development ent (CPD) is a growing area of interest. If we interpret the term ‘professional’ quite loosely, then we can include not just the traditional regulated professions such as medicine and law under this heading but also include management and similar fields of work. The requirement to continue to keep up to date has been the starting point for CPD. In medicine, for instance, there are new drugs and procedures appearing all the time. Doctors need to keep on top of this and therefore they need to continue to learn. Indeed the UK Government is proposing that General Practitioners will have to be revalidated every five years in order to maintain their licence to practice. However the emphasis on just knowledge learning has broadened over recent years. Now we find the pressure is for professionals to increase their skills and capabilities to cope with a changing world. ... Read More - Please log in or register to read this content. Membership is free. We see this area as clearly strategic as the best CPD is a process of continuing to learn in one’s professional arena for as long as one is employed in that profession. It cannot be just a short term, quick fix activity. However many professional bodies still see it in the latter terms. This is especially so when CPD means no more than attending some seminars or conferences in the year and ticking off boxes on the form you send to the professional body and then getting the OK for having done your CPD...

...clinical nursing is no exception in this regard. Moreover, professional behaviors are the true manifestation of professional attitudes and hence the importance of professionalism in clinical nursing can not be over emphasized. Cambridge Dictionary defines professionalism as follows: “Having the type of job that is respected because it involves a high level of education and training” OR “Having the qualities that connect you with trained and skilled people, such as effectiveness, skill, organization, and seriousness of manner” (Cambridge Dictionary). Therefore it becomes crystal clear that adhering to defined rules, regulations and procedures is the utmost pre-requisite to professionalism because of which it holds paramount significance for all professions including clinical nursing. Without specific knowledge and skilled training pertinent to a field, the true essence of professionalism can not be materialized. Attributes of Professionalism: There are numerous vital elements of professionalism out of which following are some of the essential attributes of professionalism: 1. Specialized Knowledge: Specialized knowledge is the foremost characteristic of a professional. It highlights such professionals who endeavor hard to enhance and improve their skills through degrees and certifications that serve as the stepping stone for specialized knowledge (RNAO, 2007). 2.
