Summary:
For socialization to occur, there must be a profession with members who are keen to be recognized in it. Despite the enthusiasm, the members may encounter setbacks in their attempt to socialize in the profession thoroughly. These may arise due to the professional set-up and structures or interpersonal glitches among members of the profession.
For example, we found that nursing students face career-related challenges such as discrimination, disrespect and being isolated by other members of the nursing profession during training. In circumstances such as this, students become withdrawn and lose interest in the training process when they actually could develop a positive self-image and professional identities through interacting with other members of the profession. Such situations could have a long-term effect on the nurse–patient relationship of such nurses since other studies suggest that positive self-image is essential for nurses to develop stronger therapeutic relationships with patients.
