The registered nurse's pursuit of professionalism is of prime importance in the execution of her task. This research attempts to assess the perceptions concerning the subject Ethos of Nursing held by post-registration nursing students--after they had written the examination on the subject. The purpose was to determine the extent of the student's pursuit of professionalism, as her perception of Ethos is synonymous with her attitude towards professionalism. During the student's basic education in Nursing Science she was taught the fundamental principles of Ethos. This research revealed that this basic teaching failed to meet the requirements of the nurse subsequent to registration. It appeared that the students' perceptions changed from negative to positive during their studies at Unisa. This finding supported the assumption that the subject Ethos, and its impact on the nurse practitioner's pursuit of professionalism, might only reach its full potential at the post-basic level.
注册护士对专业精神的追求在其执行任务过程中至关重要。本研究试图评估注册后护理专业学生在完成关于护理伦理这一主题的考试后，对该主题的看法。目的是确定学生对专业精神的追求程度，因为她对伦理的认知与她对专业精神的态度同义。在学生接受护理学基础教育期间，她学习了伦理的基本原则。本研究表明，这种基础教学未能满足护士注册后的要求。在南非大学学习期间，学生们的认知似乎从消极转变为积极。这一发现支持了这样一种假设，即护理伦理这一主题及其对执业护士追求专业精神的影响，可能只有在基础后阶段才能充分发挥其潜力。
