I saw this in my Facebook feed and wanted to get it out to as many nurses as possible. Please consider going to the site ( http://nursingworld.org/MainMenuCategories/EthicsStandards/Revision-of-Code-of-Ethics-Panel/Comment-Revision-of-Code-of-Ethics ) and making your voice heard. I have cut/pasted the following from the site:

Public Comment on the draft Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements.

As you review the drafts and prepare comments you should make reference to the specific line numbers found on the left side of the draft of each provision. Again, we appreciate your time and look forward to your feedback.

Better question would be: How many people are members of ANA? Where I work, very few are and I don't understand that. It is expensive to join, but you get your local membership as well.

I did not get my comments in, I forgot, but I think it is very important for nurses to advocate for one another.

I don't think I would have known about it I was not a member. I was making a comment on the fact that not as any nurses are as involved as they could be.

I can't access it anymore, what were some of the issues?
