Description
The author argues that because the profession of nursing consists of practical ways of fostering the well-being of persons, ethical considerations must arise out of the unique nature of this work. This book focuses on the "moral sense of nursing" by developing nursing ethics as it is rooted in everyday practice rather than the application of philosophical ethics.This implies a "therapeutic ethic" that is founded in caring: two of the four primary themes of the book deal with the concept of caring. In addition, this book argues that such a nursing ethic has an evocative or inspirational side: the decision to become a nurse implies a call to caring. The interpretative nature of this brief text advances our understanding of both nursing and ethics.
