Professional Self-Hood has been defined as an internal embodiment and an external expression of nursing, the compilation of influences of being in and being with the world. Entering into communion to stretch in uncomfortableness begins the movement to unlearn, relearn, reaffirm, and recommit to the ongoing evolution of a just and caring version of ourselves as professionals, embodied and made visible as our Professional Self-Hood.enAll Rights Reservedcommunionprofessional self-hoodnursingArticlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.20467/HumanCaring-D-21-00006
