Business I / Socialization and Professional Identity
Practice question · Multiple choice

A new nurse learns not just procedures but what counts as a good nurse, and comes to feel discomfort when the standard slips. What has happened?

Hints
  1. Ask what would happen if nobody were watching.
  2. Discomfort is the tell. What does it indicate about where the standard now lives?
Show the answer

C. Internalisation: the norm has become part of the self

Why

The standard is enforced from the inside now, which is why the feeling appears with no supervisor present, compliance ends when observation does. Professional socialisation aims at exactly this transfer, and it is why licensing bodies care about training culture as much as curriculum.
