when she gets paid for being a nurse

Some people will proberly tell you that professional means to have lots of qualifications etc. Personally my idea of professional is someone who has the experience. We can all go to college or uni and study lots and pass all our exams but to get out there and actually do the work gives you the right to use the word "professional". I also believe it means someone who maintains confidentuality. Someone who always does there best for others and is able to keep boundries between themselves and the clients they work with. I would also like to say, I believe a professional person is never afraid to admit when they are wrong or dont understand. Hope this helps you.

Hello,
Having grown up in a medical family and worked for many years in a hospital along side clinical staff (nurses included, from most junior to most senior).
The main outstanding feature that characterises a professional nurse or doctor is undoubtely "Atitude" towards the patient and how to help the person i.e. their practise of medicine. Followed closely (secondly) by a curiosity to learn & gain new knowledge and understanding.
Third most important skill is bed side manner (allies equally to nurses as well as doctors), a real & genuine caring for people.

They have to be joined to a professional organisation such as in england the Nursing Midwifery Council to be able to practice!
You don't need a degree in nursing to be professional (i'm a student nurse)

They go to college and pay lots of money so in return they are professional plus they are the ones who do the dirty work when it comes right down to it. They take orders and full fill them so their patients will get well while doctors come in throw around orders and walk out the door

Because there aren't many amateur nurses?
This rather reminds me of the ads on the side of public transport saying "Vacancies for Professional Bus Drivers". I always wonder where are all the amateur bus drivers they are so carefully seeking to avoid!
