The Moral Character of Nursing
View through CrossRef
Ethics in nursing is in the profession’s moral character, not in a set of bioethical principles. This moral character lies in the profession’s nature as a caring profession. It lies in the profession’s caring about and for a better world for patients and their communities. Individual nurses can develop this moral character in themselves by practicing five ethical habits, or the habits of a good nurse; these are the habits of trustworthiness, imagination, beauty, space, and presence. When nurses practice the habits of a good nurse, they embody the moral character of the profession in their everyday acts of nursing care.
