Ethics in Nursing -- Ethics in Life

What's the background check cost? 100 dollars at the most? Cost of doing business.Just remember what you are talking about when you use the word ethics. Ethics is usually used synonymously with moral but you have to be careful. Ethical decisions could have amoral out comes depending on the system you are using. Morality describes values and ethics describes how those values are to be utilized. A minor point to your article. But if you have a moral value like the Golden rule then your examples of charing the wealth work great. But if you were trying to be utilitarian then you would have to gauge how much people really like/ hate a certain task to come up with the most good. It could be that the person who doesn't mind the "difficult" patients would get them all the time because they are affected less than others. So that may be a proper course but would not adhere to the Golden rule.just a little theoretical discussion.

I agree with both of the above. I think it is wrong to be an ER nurse that takes care of victims of DWI and then brag about how you went out last night and drank everyone under the table, then drove home. How can you do that after seeing the carnage drunk drivers leave behind. And yet I used to work with nurses that did this all the time. And they were "great" nurses that were well respected by many of their peers.Needless to say that group didn't seem to like me very much.
