along a continuum ranging from position to profession.

practice does this occupation have? And 2) How much power does this occupation control? Using
this determinant, law and politics would clearly be considered professions

controlling the quality of practice
▪ A code of ethics that guides members of the profession in their practice
▪ Strong professional identity and commitment to the development of the profession
▪ Demonstration of professional competency and possession of a legally recognized license
High Intellectual Level: - ✔️✔️as health care has advanced and made great strides in technology,
pharmacology, and all branches of the physical sciences, a high level of intellectual functioning is
required for even relatively simple nursing tasks, such as taking a client's temperature or blood
pressure using automated equipment.
High Level of Individual Responsibility and Accountability: - ✔️✔️Nurses are often the primary, and
frequently the only, defendants named when errors are made that result in injury to the client.

and services they provide

o Public Service and Altruistic Activities:
Specialized Body of Knowledge: - ✔️✔️As the body of specialized nursing knowledge continues to
grow, it forms a theoretical basis for the best practices movement in nursing today. As more nurses
obtain advanced degrees, conduct research, and develop philosophies and theories about nursing,
this body of knowledge will increase in scope and quantity
