Abstract

Promoting professionalism and establishing a therapeutic relationship based on trust is integral to all aspects of nursing practice. However, at times the nuances of delivering care in the community, poses additional challenges to maintaining these professional boundaries. The author addresses the challenges of balancing personal disclosures to foster positive outcomes with a sense of separation from patients. The article also examines how to apply the principles of professionalism to the use of social media while embracing its benefits. The practical challenges of supporting student nurses in the community are explored, with a focus on providing a supportive environment to inspire career choices and an inclusive learning environment that can adapt to meet all requirements.
