Session Summary
Nurses encounter ethical challenges frequently. Due to incomplete or insufficient training in ethics, however they often feel powerless to address them. The Code of Ethics for Nurses serves as a public promise from nurses to society, and while it is aspirational, the 10 provisions act as a powerful guide when applied critically. In this session, the facilitators, both veterans of the expert panel to reinvision the 2025 Code, use case-based scenarios and interactive methods to engage the audience in applying the Code to ethical challenges in nursing practice.
Objectives
- Identify everyday ethical challenges in nursing practice.
- Apply the Code of Ethics for Nurses to nursing ethics challenges.
- Review key revisions to the 2025 Code of Ethics for Nurses and the rationale for the revisions.
