 The purpose of this paper was to identify the necessity of a theory construction about nurses' professional identity and to describe a beginning substantive middle range theory. A conceptual map was made using 21 empirical-based articles in nursing, psychology, sociology, and education from 6 databases. The conceptual map indicated that there was not enough evidence on what kinds of factors influence the professional identity of nurses and how they establish professional identity.

 Two inductive studies were used to develop a substantive middle-range theory of nurses' professional identity. The first study using grounded theory was conducted by having formal/informal interviews and discussions with a total of 30 participants, participant observations in three hospitals, and theoretical memos. The second study used a qualitative descriptive method and was conducted with 6 nurses by having both formal interviews and participant observations as a major source of data generation. A schematic model was developed from the findings, which explained the process of establishing the professional identity of nurses. It had seven steps: learning from working experiences. recognizing the value of nursing, establishing one's own philosophy of nursing, gaining influence from education, approving one's own nursing practice, having a commitment to nursing, and integrating a nurse into self. The beginning substantive middle-range theory did explain how nurses establish their professional identity: however, it could not explain why professional identity is important to improve the quality of nursing care.
