    Nursing as a Discipline

    Occupation
    Most people use the terms occupation and profession synonymously, not
    understanding that there is a difference. . Occupation has many meanings. According to
    dictionary.com, occupation means a persons usual or principal work or business, especially as a
    means of earning a living; vocation (www.dictionary.reference.com, 2013, p. 1). Florence
    Nightingale started the occupation of nurses by recruiting prostitutes to care for the sick and
    wounded that no one else would care for. She provided them with technical skills that were
    learned on the job training in the hospital. Florence Nightingale wanted these women to be
    educated at a time when women didnt get education and were not allowed to work in public
    service (Alligood & Tomey, 2010, p. 4).
    Profession
    The word profession can be defined as an occupation or vocation that requires some body
    of science or knowledge of some learned education (www.dictionary.reference.com, 2013, p. 1).
    According to Alligood, nursing went from being an occupation in the mid-1930s to a profession
    when hospital-based diploma programs began going into colleges and universities (Alligood &
    Tomey, 2010, p. 4). The goal was for nurses to be college educated with at least an associate
    degree or bachelors degree. Shortly after this change; research and masters program began
    coming into light tandemly (Alligood & Tomey, 2010, p. 4).
    Nursing Practice
    The discipline of nursing is guided by the nurse practice act and the Maryland
    board of nursing. Nurses must practice within their scope of practice and within their licensure.
    Nurses have an ethical code of conduct; all of these things guide how a nurse practices. All

    NURSING AS A DISCIPLINE
    nurses must practice standards of practice which are: assessment, diagnosis, outcome
    identification, planning, implementation, coordination of care health, teaching and health
    promotion, consultation and prospective, authority and treatment, and evaluation (, 2011, p. 9).
    Nursing Education.
    The discipline of nursing uses theoretic and practical skills to teach nurses how to
    function in their area of nursing. A nursing educator helps keep all the nurses in an area up to
    date with mandatory requirements set by the states and by the employers. The area of education
    is very broad and all skills must be documented and proving to be completed.
    Nursing Research
    The discipline of nursing is guided by nursing research. Research guides nursings
    evidence based practice. It helps nursing to have better patient outcomes and change the way
    nursing practices by using scientific studies with statically data that can be repeated and proven.
    Overall the debate continues on whether nursing is an occupation or a profession but there is
    much scientific evidence that proves that nursing certainly is a very proud ethical caring
    educated profession.
