“…In fact, preceptors have been noted to be the most significant influence in students' perceptions of feeling like an "insider" on a clinical unit [72] and are reported to support students' acquisition of professional values and development of professional identity. [71,73] Preceptors in the current study contributed to positive professional socialization processes by approaching the students early in the preceptorship experience, extending a welcoming demeanor, and demonstrating professional values of collegiality and respect throughout the experience.…”

Preceptorships are an indispensable part of undergraduate clinical education and are prevalent among schools of nursing. However, there is wide interpretation and implementation of preceptorships which leaves many facets of the preceptor role poorly understood. Research has suggested preceptors experience several benefits from serving; however, the role has also been described as one leading to overload, conflict, and burnout. There is a lack of studies exploring preceptor role functions from the perspective of those who serve in it. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore staff nurse experiences as preceptors to undergraduate, pre-licensure nursing students with emphasis on the RN's perceptions of the role, specifically the preparation for, support in, and understanding of what the role entails. Focus groups were used to collect data. Transcripts were analyzed using conventional content analysis. Findings suggest that the primary role function is Protector, with Socializer and Teacher as secondary role functions. Preceptors in this study described a strong empathetic drive to protect students from negative experiences, to protect patients from harm, to protect their own professional identities, and to protect the nature of the nursing profession. Within each role function, there are specific behaviors in which the preceptor engages to varying degrees depending on the needs of the individual student. Findings have implications for continued development of the preceptor role.

“…Identity aspects are generally argued to be positively associated with psychological well-being (Fagermoen, 1997;Karas et al, 2014), and therefore important for recruitment, selection, work motivation, and work engagement. Due to globalization, migration of workers across countries increases, the working environments have and will become increasingly more diverse, which makes work identity an important issue not only for human resource professionals, but also for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and policy-makers.…”

Work plays a central role in people's lives and their self-concepts. It was our objective in this article to a) explore the factor structure of a newly-developed measure of work identity, the Tilburg Work Identity Scale of Commitment and Reconsideration of Commitment (TWIS-CRC) in a Romanian employee sample, and b) examine whether the measure is invariant at configural, metric, and scalar levels across Romanian, English, Dutch, and South African (Black and White) employees. The theoretically assumed two-factor structure was supported through exploratory factor analysis (EFA) in the first study, with one item (item 10) loading moderately on both subscales. We found similar results in the preliminary EFA, confirming the removal of item 10. The Multigroup Confirmatory Factor Analysis indicated that the measure was fully invariant at the configural level and partially invariant at the metric level across the employee samples. However, no scalar invariance was found. This indicates that the TWIS-CRC as a construct is similar across groups, as are the factor loadings, whereas item intercepts are not. Across employee samples, it is therefore possible to establish how work identity as measured by the TWIS-CRC correlates with other measures such as work engagement and burnout, while we are unable to compare means across groups due to a lack of scalar invariance. Work Identity as measured by the TWIS-CRC is useful for researchers and organizational practitioners who aim to understand the importance of work identity for work motivation and engagement.

“…Furthermore, Adams and Miller, while exploring the levels of professionalism in Nurse Practitioners (NPs), revealed that 52% of the NPs did not use an ethical framework in their nursing practice and only 12% of the NPs demonstrated their willingness to participate in ethics committee [24] . Knowing the fact that ethical dimension of nursing practice assists nurses in developing their professional identity [64,65] , and impacts the lives of patients, colleagues and society [66,67] , it becomes vital for nurses to apply the code of ethics in their nursing practice. To do so, nurses can reflect on their own values and beliefs and discuss its implications on the ethical dimensions of nursing practice.…”

Professionalism is a multi-dimensional concept that provides nurses with opportunities to grow personally and professionally. Nurses demonstrating the attributes of professionalism impact positively on patient satisfaction and health outcomes. The objective of this article is to explore and analyze the phenomenon of nursing professionalism. The concept of professionalism will be explored by analyzing Miller's model entitled the "Wheel of Professionalism in Nursing".
