The American Nurses Association Code of Ethics: A Reflection on the Ethics of Respect and Human Dignity with Nurse as Expert

Constance L. Milton, RN; PhD

Professor and Coordinator for Nursing Graduate and Adult Studies Programs, Olivet Nazarene University, Bourbonnais, Illinois, cmilton{at}olivet.edu

The American Nurses Association Code of Ethics for Nurses calls for the nurse to practice with compassion and respect for every individual. What are the ethics and challenges of practicing professional nursing with expertise and educating a new generation of nurses while incorporating the interpretive statements into practice? This column differentiates the traditional biomedical views on human dignity and respect while exploring the embedded ethics of respect and self-determination and what it truly means to be an expert of nursing from the theoretical perspective of the human becoming school of thought.

Key Words: AmericanNurses Associationcode of ethics • human becoming • human dignity • nurse expert • respect
