Ethical Dilemmas

Specialties Case Management

Published

I am very interested in initiating an Ethics Committee, to provide nurses a chance to get together to discuss issues/concerns with challenging issues. Are there recent updates or revisions to the Nurses Code of Ethics? Can anyone direct me to a different location on the site to read/discus nursing ethics?

Thank you!

You should get the ANA Code of Ethics asap, and also the accompanying Guide to the Code of Ethics (DM Fowler, ed.) Both available at Amazon. Last edition is 2010. Good place to start.

Thank you! I will start there. I'm surprised there aren't more resources on current issues, with so many changes in delivery of healthcare. I appreciate your comments.

The basic principles of ethics are the same, no matter what the specifics of any given case, or even if it's a medical case or not. Get a solid grounding in those and you'll be in a much better position to do anything more.
