Prompt 1 Do you feel socializing with your colleagues is beneficial in creating a better learning environment? Why or why not?
Reflect upon the differences of personal socialization and professional socialization with colleagues. What are the pros and cons of each? Initial posts must be well-developed demonstrating an in-depth understanding of the key concepts. A minimum of one peer-reviewed reference to support your thinking is required.
I have included an article to assist with your understanding. Professional Socialization in Nursing_ A Qualitative Content Analysis.pdf
Prompt 2 What are some key elements in motivating clients to improve health behaviors and outcomes? What role does the family play?
This is a thought provoking question. How do you change others behaviors for better health? Do we, as nurses, always role model best health practices? Reflect upon the role the family plays, as well, in health improvement behaviors of patients. Experiences I have had include a patient’s spouse that refused to quit smoking even though open heart surgery was just performed on their spouse. Challenging situations do occur. How do you handle these types of situations?
