, Answer:
Ethics are the guidelines that and standards that make actions right or wrong. In comparison of
ethics between Nursing Education and Nurse Anesthetist, the wording may be different but the
overall beliefs are the same; to take care of each and every patient with the upmost respect,
dignity, compassion, empathy and professionalism.
Ethics in Nursing Education:
1. Caring
In order to care for others, you must first care for yourself. Nurse educators should model caring
behaviors that include the recognition of self-care as a basis to care for others; acceptance and
the freedom to express concern and criticism; and relationship-centered interactions.
2. Integrity
Integrity encompasses the ability to communicate honestly and sincerely, and take responsibility
for one’s actions. Treating others with respect through clear communication is at the core of
integrity. Nurse educators should demonstrate honesty, self-respect, and dignity; maintain
confidences, not just of patients, but also of students and colleagues; and stand up for their
professional values and beliefs.
3. Diversity
In education, diversity does more than acknowledge and advocate for differences of backgrounds
and experiences. Diversity in education encourages teaching strategies that address a variety of
learning styles and supports fair treatment of all students. Diversity affirms the value and
significance of contributions made by all people, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual
orientation, age, socio-economic status, religious beliefs, physical abilities, and political beliefs.
4. Excellence
Excellence is achieved through engagement in scholarship, professional growth, and continual
improvement. The development of a collegial environment, institutional support for the nursing
