Recommended: Nursing professional ethics

Honesty, loyalty, fairness, respect, justice, beneficence, and not procrastinating were the principles I lived by before I took this course. These principles I set for myself throughout middle and high school. At the age of 16 I attained my Certified Nursing Assistant and Geriatric Nursing Assistant which truly helped me develop beneficence. Respect, honesty and fairness were brought to me in the home I was raised in. Over this course and learning some new interesting things about ethics, I have gained a few more principles. One I should forgive and forget. Normally I eventually forgive but I never forget. Now it is hard, but it makes things so much easier to put it behind you a move on. Second would be change, I have a lot of change going on right in my life and it is all positive. Third is reputation, I always had a good one and cared but I never cared enough. Lastly, would be leadership. I have improved in many ways in my work force that are leading to leadership. …show more content…

I could have cared less of any other opinions, or beliefs. Over time I learned to open up to others. I now have more curiosity with about everything. I listen and accept others opinions, problems, and thoughts and I hear out their side of an argument. I hold off on giving my opinion until I am positive about my feelings. My ethical principles listed and more help me decide which side I will stand for, or if I am neutral. This also has helped me help others of their perspectives. I have met other people who as well need to broaden their spectrum. Knowledge is a very important and is a key to

  • Analysis Of Richard Kyte's An Ethical Life

    The development of my morals and virtues carries on throughout life. Within the Code of Ethics for Nurses, which I vowed to uphold when I became a nurse, is the expectation to be a moral person. According to the ANA, “Virtues such as wisdom, honesty, and courage are habits or attributes of the morally good person. Excellence such as compassion, patience, and skill are habits of character of the morally good nurse” (2010, p. 161). These values and virtues did not come when I took that vow; they were learned, strengthened and enriched throughout my

  • An Analysis Of Peculiar Benefits By Roxane Gay

    818 Words  | 2 Pages

    Peculiar means odd, strange or unusual. So how could benefits be peculiar? It’s how we as people make it to be, as Roxane Gay emphasizes in her article “Peculiar Benefits,” published in 2012. Roxane Gay argues how we must move past the dispute as to why we must recognize privilege to get past societal problems and to not allow its meaning to continue to become diluted. Gay builds a strong argument mainly through audience adaptation, language and her choice of rhetoric was effective enough to affect my perception on her point of view.

  • The Conflict between the Welfare Principle and Article 8

    1153 Words  | 3 Pages

    Since the enactment of the Human Rights Act 1998 (HRA) a resistance is marked by the English judges in relation to disputes involving children. English courts have a difficult task in balancing the interests of parents and children since the welfare principle only looks at the interests of the child. Contrary article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) gives precedence to the rights of parents. Consequently are these two principles in conflict? Before answering this question, it is better to take things from the beginning.

  • The Balancing Act Between The Individual Interest And The Common Good

    1612 Words  | 4 Pages

    The proper relationship between the individual's interests and the common good is a delicate balancing act that political philosophers such as Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and Sophocles have tried to define. For philosophers such as Socrates and Plato, the common good trumps the individual interest when those interests interfere with what they believe is right for society as a whole. For others like Aristotle and Locke, a consensus on what the common good is must be defined within the reality that individual interests exists; meaning, they cannot be completely discarded for the good of society. I believe that in a free society, where the common good to doesn't have to be forced upon its citizens, the common good should impose upon the individual's interest only as much as citizens will allow without feeling such impositions are unreasonable restrictions on their lives.

  • Importance Of Professional Values In Nursing

    1162 Words  | 3 Pages

    Personal values are what nurses hold significant and true for themselves, while professional ethics involve principles that have universal applications and standards of conduct that apply in all situations. Nurses must remember these core values and follow them to the best of their ability. During the good and bad times, they need to remember why they decided to become a nurse and their vision as to what they want to achieve. They must always remember to put the care of others first and to treat everyone equally. A person who chooses nursing as a profession makes a choice that will affect them for a lifetime. Nurses thus avoid allowing personal judgments to cloud their decisions regarding client care. They are honest and fair with clients and act in their best interest while showing utmost respect for them. New graduates entering the workforce also need to be prepared to engage in the complex critical thinking skills and develop sufficient socialization skills to deal with the enormous growth in technology and responsibilities expected in the

    Being in an ethics class has allowed me to understand what my future profession will expect of me as a professional. Learning the about the Code of Ethics of each health profession and presenting our findings was helpful to us all, not only to know our desired professions Code of Ethics but the differences between each. Focusing on the ethical principles in-depth, the class was able to practice our ethical thinking by making choices in the book, The Brewsters. Being an assignment to be completed later in the semester, this seemed to put our knowledge regarding what we had learned to the test. As someone that really enjoyed learning and understanding all the ethical principles, it was reassuring that as I read the book I could differentiate the choices to be unethical or ethical.
