Abstract

Nursing is built on a comprehensive concept and an ethical commitment to protect and maintain a patient's dignity and integrity. However, as a result of technical developments and medical progress, healthcare is rapidly evolving. Nurse burnout and ethical inconsideration occur from working under time restrictions and with a lot of responsibility, which restricts nurses’ ability to act ethically and morally in customized treatment scenarios. The nursing code of ethics is a guide for “carrying out nursing responsibilities in a manner consistent with quality in nursing care and the ethical obligations of the profession.” The following is a review paper on moral sensitivity, ethical experiences, and the promotion of the civility of staff nurses. The paper provides a summary of other research papers on the topic, historic and contemporary authors uphold various ethical experiences including the privacy and confidentiality of patients and the ability of nurses to make moral decisions.
