Lets start this course by identifying the image of registered nurses and how that influences accountability and professional practice.
Consider what you think a registered nurse is really. How do you explain the role of the RN when asked? Do you lead the discussion with a list of task?
As we begin our discussion, it is important to share the same definitions related to several concepts; it is also important to reflect on what you think you are really about to embark on as far as this profession.

What is your role in re-creating the image of nursing?
I believed that my responsibility in re-creating the nurse image is to simply treat each person with the utmost respect and kindness. The image has been looked upon as the role of a nurse is not important. As stated, nurse is noted to be assistant to doctors with no discernment (Salem, 2019).
