AI Article Synopsis
- The study involved 63 nursing students exploring how they perceive their learning experiences and develop their professional identity in nursing through a reflective writing assignment.
- Four main themes were identified: the importance of ethics and values in learning, the specificity of nursing knowledge to practice, the expectation for all nurses to be leaders, and the significance of professional behavior.
- The study suggests that reflective writing can be a valuable tool in helping students form their professional identities and indicates the need for further research in this area.
Article Abstract
This qualitative descriptive study explored the perceptions of 63 prelicensure undergraduate nursing students about their learning experiences and the formation and development of professional identity in nursing (PIN). Students enrolled in a required course that included PIN concepts completed a guided reflective writing assignment. Four themes emerged with data analysis: 1) learning and applying ethics and values, 2) nursing knowledge is specific to nursing practice, 3) all nurses should be leaders, and 4) demonstrating professional comportment. Implications include effective use of reflective writing assignments to facilitate student PIN formation. Future research is warranted.

Dementia not only affects the person living with the condition but also their family and wider social circle. For that reason, it is important to educate family members, the wider public and health professionals. How a child and young people's (CYP) nurse supports and responds to a CYP whose family member has dementia or acts as a carer is of interest to pre-licensure (pre-registration) CYP nursing programs.
