Description
This book was designed for the use of either student nurses in schools of nursing or pre-nursing students in colleges and universities. Part I provides orientation in school, hospital and the nursing profession in general. Part II deals with the broader aspects of ethics, discussing the moral principles and different philosophies of conduct necessary for understanding one's own moral choices as well as those of others. Common-sense ethical reasoning helps provide solutions to personal, professional and social problems in the confusion of global thinking and post-war reconstruction.
