: Last semester we had quite a few different viewpoints on who was considered a professional. No offense to anyone, but quite a few of the nursing students felt that basically only nurses and doctors were considered professionals because they carried licenses and had to have CEU's. I think anyone who goes to an accredited school and takes boards or registrys or whatever and are required to maintain ceu's for their license are condidered a professional. The number of years of school or program I feel have no bearing on this issue. Any comments?
A PROFESSIONAL IS SOMEONE WHO ACQUIRES THE NECESSARY SKILLS THROUGH EDUCATION AND MAINTAINS THESE SKILLS THROUGH CONTINUING EDUCATION AND WORK EXPERIENCE
