Essential VIII Professional and Professional Values
Professional values such as altruism, autonomy, human dignity, integrity and social justice form the foundational basis of nursing practice (American Association of Colleges of Nursing, 2008). Professionalism is the consistent demonstration of the key values that nurses demonstrate while working with other professionals in achieving optimal outcomes in health and wellness among patients. While working with patients and their families and communities, baccalaureate graduates in nursing programs apply the principles of excellence, altruism, ethics, caring, accountability and communication. The baccalaureate program ensures that graduates are prepared to demonstrate accountability, professionalism, historical and current issues and reflect on individual beliefs and values relating to professional practice.
