Clinical Nursing Supervision and Nursing Ethics

I ran across this article in an upcoming issue of Nursing & health sciences (March 2005) - Core ethical issues of clinical nursing supervision. It is a synthesis of research in, and theory of, clinical nursing supervision. The authors are from Sweden, and bring up some interesting points about the importance of clinical supervision in ethical decision making.

For those of you that are interested here is the The ICN Code of Ethics for Nurses that is mentioned in the article, developed by the International Council of Nurses .

Here are some other ethics statements:

• American Nurses Association's Code of Ethics for Nurses , from The Center for Ethics & Human Rights.
• American College of Nurse-Midwives ethics statement.
