[10] Despite undeniable progress and many changes in nursing education, faculties have encountered some problems in the process of nursing professionalization,[3] and still nurses’ behaviors are based on traditional approaches.

Introduction:Understanding how academic dominant discourse is implicated in the shaping of nursing identity, professional aspirations and socialization of nursing students is useful as it can lead to strategies that promote nursing profession.Materials and Methods:This is a qualitative research conducted through discourse analysis approach. Semi-structured interviews, focus group, and direct observation of undergraduate theoretical and clinical courses were used to collect the data. Participants were 71 nursing students, 20 nursing educators, and 5 nursing board staffs from five universities in Iran.Results:Data analysis resulted in the development of four main themes that represent essential discourses of nursing education. The discourses explored are theoretical and scientific nursing, domination of biomedical paradigm, caring as an empty signifier, and more than expected role of research in nursing education discourse.Conclusions:The results indicated that academics attempt to define itself based on “scientific knowledge” and faculties seek to socialize students by emphasizing the scientific/theoretical basis of nursing and research, with the dominance of biomedical discourse. It fails to conceptually grasp the reality of nursing practice, and the result is an untested and impoverished theoretical discourse. The analysis highlights the need for the formation of a strong and new discourse, which contains articulation of signifiers extracted from the nature of the profession.

“…However, new nurses are often inadequately prepared to meet the demands of today's complex care environments (Greene, 2010;Monaghan, 2015;Odland et al, 2014;Rush et al, 2013;Yousefy et al, 2015). There is solid evidence that new nurses can benefit from a supported and structured preceptorship during their transition to a professional nurse (Rush et al, 2013;Whitehead et al, 2013).…”
