In the past professional identity in nursing was inculcated in students alongside institutional pride. A strong sense of professional identity is key to staff retention and recruitment and key to the delivery of quality nursing care. With the wholesale transfer of pre-registration nursing education to the third level sector, however, the reality is that students now divide their affiliations between university and healthcare institutions and professional identity development may be stymied. For this reason, there is need to explore alternative means of developing professional identity. Exposure to nursing history may counteract this tendency. Based on adult nursing students' reflections of a visit to the Florence Nightingale Museum, we discuss the potential of this activity in aiding development of critical professional identity.
过去，护理专业身份认同是与院校自豪感一同灌输给学生的。强烈的专业身份认同感是员工留用和招聘的关键，也是提供优质护理服务的关键。然而，随着注册前护理教育全面转移到高等教育领域，现实情况是，学生现在将他们的归属感分散在大学和医疗机构之间，专业身份认同的发展可能会受到阻碍。因此，有必要探索培养专业身份认同的替代方法。接触护理历史可能会抵消这种趋势。基于成人护理专业学生对参观弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔博物馆的反思，我们讨论了这项活动在促进批判性专业身份认同发展方面的潜力。
