Abstract
In the past 20 years, professional identity in nursing and scales associated with
the term have been difficult and confusing to define. In 2018, a group of nurse leaders
sought to define professional identity in nursing and subsequently created a new scale
based on that definition. This new Professional Identity in Nursing Scale is currently
being psychometrically tested with practicing nurses. Nurse leaders can start to think
innovatively about how to use the scale with individual nurses as well as with a group
in the work environment.
