2Socialization is the process during which people learn the roles, statuses, and values necessary for participation in social institutions. Close Panel Socialization is a lifelong process that begins with learning the norms and roles of the family and subculture, and making self-concept (Dinmohammadi, Peyrovi, & Mehrdad, 2013). As individuals grow older and join new groups and assume new roles, they learn the ways of a group of society in other to be a functional participant of that group which in the end helps redefine their self-concept. Professional socialization, however, is the only periodic process of socialization that continues throughout an individual’s life which makes it life-time socialization as long as one is still in a profession or the other. It is the process of internalizing and developing a professional identity through the acquisition of skills, beliefs, norms, attitude, knowledge, rules, and ethical standards in order to be able to fulfill a professional role. 3Newly graduated nurses from nursing schools are faced with a lot of challenges and difficulties when socializing into professional nursing, but this paper will explain how I plan to facilitate my own socialization and increase my comfort level into the field of professional nursing practice.

Each stage has its own theme: “knowing” for Academic stage, “becoming” through guided practice in “real-life” settings for Transition stage, and “affirming” professional identity and “integrating” into professional roles for Integration stage (Kramer, Maguire, Halfer, Brewer, & Schmalenberg, 2011). According to Dinmohammadi, Peyrovi, & Mehrdad, professional socialization is a complex process with four critical attributes: 4learning, interaction, development and
Professionalism in the workplace in many professions can be simplified into general categories such as neat appearance, interaction with clients, punctuality, general subject knowledge, and likability. In nursing, professionalism encompasses a much more broad and inclusive set of criteria than any other profession. Nurses specifically are held to a higher standard in nearly every part of their job. Nurses are not only expected to uphold what it seen as professional in the aforementioned categories, but they are also expected to promote health, wellbeing, and advocate for patients, but also continually provide the highest standard of care, demonstrate exemplary subject and procedural knowledge, and abide by the Code of ethics set forth by the American Nurses Association. This Code of Ethics includes the complex moral and ethical principles of autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, fidelity, honesty, and integrity.
Transitioning from academic nursing student to Registered Nurse/New Graduate Nurse (NGN) within the healthcare environment is a challenging task for many NGNs. They may encounter a number of challenges, such as the following: transition shock, professional isolation, lack of clinical experience, stress, lack of a support network and cultural incompetence. At the end, this essay will discuss the rationale for developing my two most important goals for the next twelve months. I presume the transition from academic nursing student to Graduate Nurse will be challenging and rewarding. In their findings, the researchers Doody, Tuohy & Deasy (2012) stated that for a successful transition NGNs need to be competent in a range of domains: interpersonal skills, managing workloads, providing health information, communication, and prioritising care delivery.
402). Currently, the nursing culture is described as a stronger treatment culture and demand greater efficiency (Bjerknes & Bjork, 2012, p. 2). The assumptions made in this article were not clearly stated, but can be inferred from the background information presented. It was inferred that new nurses do not experience the support they need and that much is expected of them upon beginning practice (Bjerknes & Bjork, 2015, p. 1). It was concluded from various studies that the quality of the transition is likely to influence the way the nurses felt about themselves and if they would stay in the field of nursing (Bjerknes & Bjork, 2012, p. 2). By providing knowledge of new graduates’ experiences and perceptions of their work, it should improve the understanding of the challenges new nurses encounter (Bjerknes & Bjork, 2012, p.
Our course, Transition to Professional Nursing, is barely two weeks old and already I am being enlightened and challenged to expand my experience of nursing. I will attempt to explain my personal journey and experience thus far including how and why I got here, my beliefs about nursing and related values, and my visions for the future.

Professionalism, within the nursing context, can be a concept that is complex. The definition of professionalism, according to the textbook, Nursing Now!, is “The demonstration of high-level personal, ethical, and skill characteristics of a member of a profession” (Catalano, 2017, p. 5). There are many characteristics that define professionalism in the workplace and actions that a nurse can take to portray a professional attitude and manner. In nursing school, professionalism is taught in the classroom using different examples of education.
Socialization is a lifelong process of acquiring one’s personal identity; when we interact within the four agents of socialization—family, school, media, and peer groups—we internalize norms, values, behavior, and social skills. Since our values, norms, and beliefs about society are first learned with family, family is the most important and influential agent of socialization.
As new nursing graduates begin the process of transitioning into the nursing practice. There are many challenges and issues associated throughout the transition. New graduates may embark on their journey through a graduate program or seek employment solo. The transition period may consist of challenges, that students will encounter during their journey. This essay will identify, discuss, and critically reflect on key nursing challenges that student nurses may face, throughout the process of the transition phase.
The term socialization as described by Wilkinson and Treas, states that socialization is the informal education that occurs as you move into your new profession (Wilkinson & Treas, 2011). Socialization into nursing is more than just being knowledgeable of the information and skills required to perform an outlined role. It also includes learning and adapting to the behaviors, norms, values, and perceptions of individuals within the same group or role (Wilkinson & Treas, 2011). Socialization into nursing requires continuous research. Often, individuals enter the field of nursing with their own beliefs and life philosophies, however after much role modeling and reinforcement of applied behaviors and skills those beliefs and life philosophies either change or develop into theories. This paper will compare and contrast my personal beliefs and life philosophies to those of Virginia Henderson. I will give background information on Virginia Henderson and also explain the notable theory she has contributed to the world of nursing. I will then compare Henderson’s views to those of my own and clarify why I choose her as my theorist of interest.
Socialization is defined as the process by which an individual internalizes the norms, values and beliefs of their social world.

The term socialization refers to the “lifelong social experience by which individuals develop their human potential and learn culture.” [Macionis et al. p 55] The concept of socialization is that our actions are driven/learned by culture. Socialization is also the foundation of personality, which we build by internalizing our surroundings. Through the lifelong process of socialization, society transmits culture from one generation to the next.
The profession of nursing has both positive and negative effects on the well-being of nurses, which can lead to learning opportunities for those that are new to the profession. To receive an accurate depiction of the nursing profession, an interview with a currently practicing nurse is conducted and the challenges that they face will be analyzed with the intent of exploring different strategies that can be used when coping with these issues. The nurse that was interviewed stated that she has been in the nursing field for the past seventeen years; with the past ten being in the role of a nurse practitioner (Personal Communication, October 26, 2016). The nurse has experience in a variety of settings, as well as holding several degrees and certificates
Socialization is a never ending process that continues to change our perspectives to help us learn and adapt to a social reality. This lifelo.ng process can be split up into two different parts; primary socialization, the first socialization an individual undergoes in childhood, and secondary socialization, when an individual adapts to a specific group within society. Although one may believe that secondary socialization has more power over primary socialization since it is current and therefore more relevant, primary socialization has more authority considering that it lays down the foundation for all future socializations. Our initial values, attitudes, and actions are more important since we internalize them
acceptable or "normal" behaviour. The Socialisation process continues throughout life and has many agents of socialisation. The first agents we usually encounter are our families. This primary socialisation teaches us the basic social skills for life. Generally the values we learn from our parents who stay with us throughout life.
What is socialization? Socialization is the process in which we as people become members of society. As individuals our sense of belonging is shaped through the agents of socialization.
