Assessment task 1: Reflection
Task Description
For this assignment, we would like you to think about what ‘professionalism’ means to you as a
student embarking on a nursing career. Drawing on the readings and lectures from module 1, and
with reference to the wider scholarly literature, write a short paper that explores some of the
characteristics that a professional nurse should exhibit and the professional behaviour that is
appropriate to the role. You should use a minimum of FOUR scholarly references to support your
discussion.
The purpose of this task is for you to think about and articulate your response to this question and
develop a piece of written work. It will also provide you with the opportunity to access and interpret
scholarly literature.
