Answer 1

"We do not teach what we preach, but what we are" . This quote is 1 of many words of wisdome from Florence Nightingale that still hold on true today . So staff learns most from what they see other staff do. 1 of the responsibilities of nursing professional development specialist is to serve as a role model; doing , not just saying the right things.A role model is a person looked to by others as an example .They make us want to do better things, they inspire us , motivate us, and encourage us to try a little bit harder to be a better nurse or an educator.

They help us to realise our potential.

Role models are not perfect , but they have worked through issues and been successful.

Being a role model is an important job,a registered nurse with expertise in nursing education is an example of role model who influences professional role competence and professional growth of nurses.
