Being a nurse is not just a profession, it is a privilege and an honor. With it being a profession where there is an opportunity to touch many patients’ lives, there must be regulations, laws, and codes that nurses must abide by. There are certain professional traits that a nurse must possess to make them not only a good nurse but a great nurse. There are various nursing theories that a nurse can base their practice upon and many historical figures of the past that guide the nurses of today and of the future.…
Throughout a nurse’s professional career, many difficult ethical and legal situations will arise. Since nurses are given the unique privilege of caring for patients and their families, it is important to uphold certain professional standards. The American Nursing Association (ANA) Code of Nursing Ethics provides a foundation on which a nurse should conduct her professional life. In addition to the Code of Ethics, nurses must also balance their personal values along with legal standards to make the best decisions for their patients.…

Unlike many professions in the world, nursing is a career that requires vast amounts of interpersonal communication with patients, families, and fellow care providers. This large amount of communication is not an easy load to handle especially when a nurse has to communicate and also maintain professionalism. To preserve professionalism while working, a nurse must maintain professional communication, have positive first impressions upon patients and coworkers, follow values that allow for relationship building, and communicate in order to build trust.…
The code of ethics is an important part of the nursing foundation where nurses are directed to practice with compassion and respect for human dignity, responsibility, accountability, confidentiality and patient safety (ANA, 2012). Nurses are expected to follow this professional morals and values but also to practice their own personal standards as well. Values are one’s fundamental beliefs acquired from childhood through family and society. Morals are values that attribute to a system of beliefs. Ethics is the ability to make right and wrong decision based on adopted morals (Navran F. J., 2010). Every human is shaped according to their culture, spiritual and individual values that were instilled upon them by their family and community and in the nursing world, one nurses’ beliefs may differ from how others may practice nursing and handle ethical dilemmas.…

The elements on core values of nursing are diversity, integrity, caring, and quality. I believe nursing must consider a patient’s needs and value the person as a unique individual while treating the person with respect and dignity. The quality of the potential relationship connecting a patient and nurse represents opportunity to discover and display individual ethics.…
Professional values guide the decisions and actions we make in our careers. As nurses we are responsible for caring for patients during birth, death, illness and healing. If we are not aware of the decisions and actions to take it would be impossible to provide our patients with exceptional care. The values that are the foundation of the nursing profession are altruism, autonomy, human dignity, and social justice. In this paper I will define each value and describe their impact on nurses and nursing students.…
Nursing professionalism is a hard term to define. I believe that nurse professionalism describes the skills, attitudes, values and behaviors common to and expected from practicing nurses. Because there are so many aspects to professionalism, it can be difficult for any nurse, whether novice or expert, to constantly achieve professionalism. I think the most important aspects of professionalism are caring and serving. Although this may not seem like “professional” attributes, I believe that the concepts of caring and serving define our field. There is nothing more un-professional or distasteful than a nurse that obviously does not care or serve for his or her patient, but rather, just does the bare minimum.…
Respect and compassion are an important value a nurse should incorporate when providing care. When a nurse is respectful to a patient, trust is developed enabling the nurse to perform tasks without hurdles and compassion is easily conveyed to the patient. In addition, being a patient advocate supporting self-care decisions by the patient should be delivered altruistically by the nurse to provide maximum care.…
The ethical dilemma reported in this example relates to the proprietary rights of professionally written material in that an expert in a specialty area of psychology was entrusted to review and assess a manuscript written by a newer psychologist. Along with providing the new practitioner with very critical and somewhat disparaging feedback on the piece, the expert also recommended not submit the manuscript for publishing as well. Almost a year later, however, the newer psychologist ran across an article in publishing that was reportedly written by the expert, although a large portion of the writing had clearly been plagiarized from the exact same manuscript the expert reviewed so harshly (Koocher & Keith-Spiegel, 2016). Not surprisingly, the conduct of the expert in this case example discernably violates a number of standards of the APA (2010) Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct.…
Everybody have their code of ethics also known as their conscious. It is what motivates us to give our best in our personal lives, and our vocational ethics propels us to be best at our jobs. At times our personal and professional ethics may contradict each other and we have to make a decision to act on one. As nurses, we do our best to conduct ourselves and make ethical decisions, at times what we feel is the right choice may not be right for everyone involved, that is when we rely on the nursing code of ethics and its provisions to guide us.…
