– ## IdentityAssignment.docx
**## IdentityAssignment.docx**
The Professional Identity Assignment (Parts I and II) considers the components and competencies needed to grow your professional identity as you begin your RN-BSN program. These include choosing a theoretical framework, developing ethical comportment, demonstrating a commitment to model moral courage, developing emotional intelligence, clarifying personal and professional values, working with a mentor, and achieving short and long-term goals (See AACN
_Essentials_-Domain 9: Professionalism).
The Professional Identify Assignment – Part I is an APA-formatted assignment which will feed into the Professional Identity Assignment – Part II. This means the paper is written using the
_APA Publication Manual_ (7th edition), and the paper is broken down into two drop box submissions: Part I and Part II. Scaffolding of the assignment allows the student to review and integrate instructor feedback into the final document while developing professional communication and scholarly writing skills.
**Professional Identity – Part I Assignment**
In this assignment, you will create the first part of your Professional Identity Paper which will focus on five values that are important to you in your nursing practice. A reference page must be included for sources used in your assignment. You will upload a polished draft of your paper to Grammarly for review and feedback; make any recommended changes; and submit a final revised copy of your assignment including the Grammarly PDF report to the drop box for grading in Canvas.
**This assignment utilizes Turnitin. This means you must submit your paper to Turnitin and review your Originality Report. When you submit your assignment to Canvas, you will automatically submit to Turnitin as well. BrainFuse is encouraged but not required.
**Assignment Directions:**
1. Create a title page according to
_APA Publication Manual_ (7th edition) student guidelines.
2. In one paragraph, write your paper's introduction according to
_APA Publication Manual_ (7th edition) guidelines.
· The introduction should give a general background about your paper’s topic and explain to the reader what to expect in the rest of the paper (state your thesis).
· For the purposes of this paper, using the first-person tense is acceptable.
3. In one paragraph, describe your reason for choosing the nursing profession.
4. In five paragraphs, describe five values that you value most in the nursing profession. Each paragraph should contain information about one specific value.
· Identify and describe each value.
· Discuss how each value guides your conduct as a nurse.
· Give a specific example, from
**your** nursing experience, of how you demonstrate this value.
5. Submit the paper to Grammarly for review, and make any changes that you would like to change based on Grammarly’s feedback. Download the Grammarly PDF report when you are finished making changes; you will submit this report. (Note: Grammarly is only looking for grammar and style issues, while your professor is looking for a much wider range of aspects of your writing.)
6. Submit both the finished copy of your Professional Identity Paper, part I and the Grammarly report to Canvas. You should upload both documents as one submission.
The Professional Identity – Part I Assignment is an APA scaffolded assignment. The overall purpose of this assignment is for the student to develop a professional identity in nursing by describing their reason for choosing nursing, their values as they relate to nursing practice, and (eventually) to identify their own nursing philosophy as it relates to their values, beliefs, strengths, and opportunities for growth; transition to the baccalaureate role; identification of short- and long-term goals; and reflection on the prelicensure versus BSN role.
