1. In your own words, define professionalism and how it relates to you as a health care provider? The essay must be limited to 250 words.

Webster’s describes professionalism as “the conduct, aims, or qualities that characterize or mark a profession or a professional person.” I can see why people would say that about professionalism. However, I personally don’t fully understand the true meaning of professionalism. That might be because professionalism wasn’t an important part in my life. But now that I’m beginning to grow and learn more about my career and my future, professionalism is something that I’m going to have to work on in order to gain the skills to be respected in the business world.

The first thing that comes to mind in my first 30 days at a new site is that I want to not mainly focus on, but keep in mind of the professionalism standpoint. I want to make sure that I bring that into the mindset, with the willingness to learn and soak as much information as I possibly can. Ask a lot of questions if needed and proceed to move to a professional level. I think in order for me to master my professionalism it will help me to be successful. Some of those steps I'm willing to take is to dress professional which will show my employers or co-workers that I'm ready for the day or the task at hand, looking the part. Make sure im well groomed with ironed attire. The biggest thing for me at the point time and moment is getting my certificate's done and completed.

Believe it or not a lot of individuals do not know how to become and maintain being professional. This is a perfect to quote "lead by example", be an example for others to learn from you and you could always learn from others. If you are not learning something every day you are wasting your own time. Its always a perfect time to learn and today I learned about professionalism. From a bit of research through internet and a few friends, and also from what I know and have experienced from day to day. A lot of issues I have been through could of been solved by just using some professionalism, for example, thinking before I reacted to certain situations and conversations. Always carry yourself professional and people will think much more highly about you and the way they percieve you.

Professionalism is a term that has existed for a long time. Its definition varies from one individual or era to the other. For some, being professional is seen as dressing elegantly at work, or doing an excellent job. For others, however, being professional is translated as having higher degrees or other certifications. Nonetheless, professionalism comprises all of these definitions, although it also constitutes much more. It is the level of aptitude or excellence, as well as the aim, conduct or qualities that professionals have. A profession is a compensated occupation that necessitates one to have formal credentials and training as well as a certain range of skills. The essay will reflect on professionalism, how it has changed,

I am very interested in a career field in Human Resources. For this paper, I interviewed Lillian Mannino who is a Human Resource and Personnel Manager at the UC San Diego Graduate School of Global Policy and Strategy. As a manager, Lillian serves as the link between the graduate school’s management and its employees. She is in charge of overseeing recruitment, employee relations, policy development, payroll, and benefits. Personnel management is a special branch of management that is focus on the concerns of employees at work and their relationship with the organization. Her educational experiences consist of a bachelor degree at UC San Diego in Management Science and a professional Human Resources certificate from UCSD Extension. She has been working in the academic administration for almost ten years and earned her current position as manager through climbing up the ladder. She started off working in this field as a student affairs officer then was promoted to an administrative specialist. Her prior work experience paved a path for her to build up professional experience as well as a solid network within the UCSD administrative system.

Everywhere you go and in everything you do, professionalism comes in to account in some way or another. Professionalism has been defined as, “a strict adherence to courtesy, honesty and responsibility when dealing with individuals or other companies in the business environment” (Clarke, 2015). When it comes to the career of nursing, professionalism is taken to a whole other level. Not only does professionalism come in to account with your business professionals and peers, but you have patients with whom professionalism is highly practiced as well. Professionalism in nursing means that you are able to handle all the responsibilities given to you in an efficient and proper way. It means that when you are given an order that needs to be carried out by a doctor or a patient who needs your help, you adhere to what is being expected of you in a timely manner. Physicians put trust into nurses in order to carry out orders that are needed to save patients’ lives. If you’re not looked at as professional and responsible, it is going to be very hard to have a successful career. Responsibility is what nursing is all about. Professionalism in nursing means that along with taking on big responsibilities, you have discipline. Discipline in nursing is crucial to being successful. Not only to keep your patients safe, but so that you personally are on the ball and looked at by others as professional, therefore, making you a great nurse. Professionalism means that you have the

The word professional get thrown around left and right, written on every application mentioned by every professor, employer, and business. It has gotten to point where the word is spoken but barely ever defined. The importance of professionalism is increasing and in most cases has become detrimental to most careers, especially in health care. If you asked a member of a health care organization, if they needed to be a professional they would immediately respond with yes since length of service and wages in the company depends on professionalism. Professionalism is often defined as the strict adherence to politeness, uprightness and accountability when dealing with individuals or other companies in any environment. If one doesn’t act in a professional

Professionalism is defined as the competence or skill expected of a professional. Individuals like to think that professionalism varies depending on the level of education; however, that is not the case. Any worker, no matter what the level of education is, should be able to obtain this trait and use it in their workplace. With this trait, others are inclined to look at you as a respectable, reliable, and competent worker in the area. A professional displays good characteristics of integrity, responsibility, and honesty as well as exceptional interpersonal skills and always wanting to learn more. As a professional in healthcare I like to describe a good healthcare provider as altruistic and having a good sense of service. Going hand in hand
