Developing Professional Identity Using Case Studies
How do you integrate Professional Identity Formation into your curricula? Learn practical strategies to develop professional identity and behavior in your students using case studies derived from clinical practice that emphasize ethical dilemmas and priority setting.
During the pandemic, nurses are experiencing moral injury and trauma and compromising their moral principles by not being able to provide adequate patient care. KeithRN's COVID-19 Case Studies and new Priority Patient Activity can be used to effectively model Professional Identity Formation.
Building upon my conversation with Dr. Nelda Godfrey on Professional Identity Formation, I will discuss the use of case studies for teaching real-world nursing dilemmas, an opportunity for students to understand what it means to think, act and feel like a nurse.
