Agree Or Disagreement This Answer With 100 Words And Because 19174751

 Plagiarising as a nursing student, goes beyond the academics. It reaches to the core and very foundation of trust, and integrity upon which the profession of nursing was built, and affects the very care we give to our most trusting clients, our patients. It attempts to uproot and, make a mockery of it all by taking away the trust the public has in our profession. As students, if we do not carefully research the topics and issues before us, and discover the best way to address and get it under control through proper data collection, giving credit to where it is due, we will not be able to carry these out as nurses. This is exactly what we are going to do for every patients concern. We will have to research or investigate the problem, collect data, analyze it, plan, while advocating for the patient as we present our findings to the physicians. Our implementation of the prescribed care will focus on the patient’s safety, and we will patiently and together with the physician evaluate the outcome of the whole process. This will aid to enhance a much better outcome for these patients.Their trust in the profession of nursing will be strengthened. The issue here is about honesty and integrity in our work as nurses. We are expected to research enough materials and get an excellent  grasp of the researched topic while giving credit to the sources of our acquired wisdom. As we practice doing this at this level of our education, we will easily transfer it to our professions as nurses. As we ethically practice this, we will be able to stand with those great giants in healthcare, and deliver the best possible care with integrity to those that have come to us with trust in their time of illness or trauma.

Agree Or Disagreement This Answer With 100 Words And Because 19175777

 

Three examples of plagiarism are intentional plagiarism which is when a person knowingly copies the work of another person and purposefully did not give credit to the author. Unintentional plagiarism involves a person having poor writing and paraphrasing skills (de Souza, 2016). Cheating is known as plagiarism and is when another person takes someone’s work and presents it as their own (LaDuke, 2013).

Nursing is a very trusted profession and therefore nurses are meant to provide professional care to members of the community, integrity is essential in this type of work. Poor decision making is led by lack of integrity and dishonesty, this can have poor patient outcomes. I think that since most people who are achieving their baccalaureate degree are full time nurses, time is a big issue. They think cutting corners and copying and pasting will save time. They forget that nursing is a profession passed on integrity and trust, plagiarism can affect their performance and impact EBP created to affect change in patient care (LaDuke, 2013).

Things that I will plan to do to ensure my academic integrity when doing work for my BSN is to use plagiarism prevention software like Turnitin, making sure to give credit to each piece of work by citing authors and dates correctly, and for asking for help if I am not sure if it’s a credible source or if I am citing correctly.
