Montgomery Community College Public Campaigns and Professional Nurses Discussion
Ask a friend or patient, a non-nurse, to describe the role of a professional registered nurse to you. Reflect on their description with your view of your role as a nurse or future professional registered nurse. What did your friend or patient describe as the role of a nurse? In your own words, how you would explain to them the role of the nurse as a knowledge worker and knowledge manager? Choose one way the campaign is helping the public to learn what it means to be a professional registered nurse. Explain how a public campaign might be used to accurately portray, or harm, the image of a professional registered nurse. Why is it important for the pubic to have an accurate image of a professional registered nurse?
