Application of Nursing Professionalism in
Emergency
Introduction
Professionalism in nursing means much more
than simply wearing a uniform and speaking
politely.
It encompasses a set of values that are critical to
elevating the quality of patient care while improving
the methods, standards, and judgments that guide
nursing practices every day.
