I, professional Professionalism is a huge word composed of small acts. It’s not been a long time since I graduated from college and just 2 months ago when I signed my contract to this company. There are lots of changes since then. I was the “I-don’t-care-as-long-as-I-passed” person, the rule unto myself, I am the “go have fun as there is time”, I am just representing “me”. I was overwhelmed when I got hired by this company, I mean, first job ever!…

Not only can I find meaning by nurturing my newfound friendships, but I can also generate meaning by maintaining the relationships with my family and friends back home. This source of generating meaning to contribute to my happiness is justified in the same way as strengthening my newfound friendships. According to Wolf’s theory, these actions have subjective appeal and objective validity. Nurturing these relationships will require special attention and care because I no longer see my family or old friends every day, therefore nurturing these relationships is done out of ‘reasons of love.’ I believe family and friends (whether old or new) are important examples of aspects of a happy life.…
Applying Ethics and Professionalism in the healthcare setting is crucial to being a part of something bigger than yourself. Many people don’t realize entering into the field that you are examined from head to toe, from the first time you set foot into the building you are apply to or simply a job you already work at. Things like your appearance, the way you conduct yourself, and your facial expressions. You simply cannot walk into an interview with pajamas on and your hair looking a mess, you will be portrayed as messy, that you do not care about yourself, you are wasting the interviewers time, and simply that you just do not care whether you receive this job or not. Ethics is about putting others beliefs before your own.…
The concept of professionalism is a highly contextual construct that varies from individual to individual, influenced by many factors. However, professionalism may be generally defined as a “habitual and judicious use of communication, knowledge, technical skills, clinical reasoning, emotions, values, and reflection in daily practice for the benefit of the individual and community being served.” (Epstein and Hundert, 2002). Professional attributes describes a set of behaviours that encompasses professionalism, such as competence, commitment, confidentiality, autonomy, altruism, integrity and honesty, morality and ethical conduct, and trustworthiness (Cruess, Cruess, and Steinert, 2009). Hence, to exhibit professionalism means to possess professional…
Professionalism is the competence or skill expected of a person who is considered a professional. Professionalism incorporates a vast array of attributes, and together they identify and define a professional. Another part of professionalism is being able to keep positives and negatives separate in the work setting. Individuals are responsible for upholding a level of professionalism, and must suffer the consequences when done otherwise. Professionalism is subjective since it may have an alternate meaning to others, and can also be judged.…

In the pre-professional age, skills for teaching were acquired through practical apprenticeship, learned by watching others, and once an individual learned how to teach, the teacher was seen as mastering the profession (Hargreaves, 2000). Professionally, when a teacher was no longer working as an apprentice, feedback was eliminated and interactions with colleagues halted, leaving a teacher on their own (Hargreaves, 2000). Further learning, according to Hargreaves (2000), was acquired through trial-and-error within the confines of isolated classrooms. In the 1960s, the age of the autonomous professional, Hargreaves (2000) claims that individualism was a common characteristic of teaching, as teachers continued to teach in isolation, separated from their…
