Most honest and ethical
For many years, a Gallup poll has
identified the most honest and ethical
professions in America. And for
8 years in a row, nursing has been
in the top 10. For the last 5 years,
nurses have been number one (see
Most honest professions).
But is this ranking really relevant
to the concern we have about our
image? What really matters to patients
and their caregivers? What do
we care about and look for in our
colleagues? How much impact do
nursing
How do
others see us?
How do we
see ourselves?
