Author

Davies, Celia

Subjects
Nursing -- Practice, Health
Abstract

Professionalism, among health professionals as among other professionals, has traditionally been associated with characteristics such as knowledge, competitiveness and formal training. It is now appropriate to consider a new type of professionalism for nurses, one which values other characteristics.
