Professional socialization in nursing is the process which entails acquisition of personal identity by learning norms, values and social skills characteristic to the nursing profession (Hoelscher & Dunbar, 2008). Defining professional socialization is not easy because the process is complex entailing formation of a distinct identity and commitment to the nursing profession. Through this process, students who have undertaken nursing courses form a professional identity so that they are elevated to view themselves as members of the profession with responsibilities which attend membership. The process is basically a social process. During the transition from student status to nursing professions, students are professionalized and initiated the culture of the organization they are working for (Claywell, 2009).
