The Power of YOUR Profession
Your educational career is complete…. You are graduating and going out into your role as a clinical professional. For the last few months all you have been worried about is graduating, preparing for your exam and finding your perfect job. Have you thought to yourself what that means to you? What is a professional? You have the power…..
Ethics and Integrity are two of the most important qualities that a professional can posses. Do you hold yourself to these quality standards? Below I have listed some keys things to think about when assessing yourself as a professional:
- The first step to making yourself a professional is to decide you ARE a professional.
- How you look, talk, write, act and work determines whether you are a professional
- Becoming the best at what you do
- Make a positive impact on society
- Take on the challenges
Remember as you go out into your career as a clinical professional that you have the POWER to determine YOU as a professional and only YOU are responsible for that outcome. I want to leave you with a quote by L. Ron Hubbard…. “Personal integrity is knowing what you know—What you know is what you know—And to have the courage to know and say what you have observed. And that is integrity And there is no other integrity.”
