This paper re-examines the claim of the profession of nursing to professional status. The criteria for professional recognition are used to determine whether nursing is indeed a profession, and the author could substantiate the professional status of nursing in certain countries. The problems encountered in the process of professionalization were explored and, in conclusion, a few solutions to the problems encountered were offered from the author's own paradigm.
