Code of ethics for students

Could you be a little more specific of what you are looking for??? Our nursing program has like a 52 page book on what is expected of the student in all aspects.

Yeah thats what im wanting like.....

• Keep all patient information confidential.
  

• Maintain a safe environment for the patients.
  

• Treat the patients with respect and respect their choice of culture and beliefs.
  

• Speak to patients in a truthful and accurate manner.
  

• Being faithful and keeping your promises.
  

• Give compassionate and professional care to clients.
  

• Take responsibility for your own actions.
  

• Attempt to improve the quality of nursing.
  

Protect the health, right, and safety of the patient.

the schools code is probably based on the ANA Nursing Code of Ethics. See their website at http://www.nursingworld.org

code of ethics is something for the good welfare of the patients. there is no room for mistakes. but if it happens it is enough to be done only once for the health and security of the patient.
