    SILVER SPRING, MD- For the seventh consecutive year, nurses were voted the most trusted profession in America in Gallup's annual survey of professions for their honesty and ethical standards. Eighty-four percent of Americans believe nurses' honesty and ethical standards are either "high" or "very high." "It's a proud day for nurses and for nursing," remarked ANA President Rebecca M. Patton, MSN, RN, CNOR. "The fundamental principles of nursing are compassion and respect for the individual patient. They are what inspire each nurse to strive to promote health, prevent illness and alleviate suffering. It's gratifying to see those principles recognized by the public we serve."

    Since being included in the Gallup poll in 1999, nurses have received the highest ranking every year except in 2001, when fire fighters received top honors. Results were based on telephone interviews with more than 1,000 adults. Copyright South Carolina Nurses' Association Jan-Mar 2009
