title: Said another way. An ethical issue for a profession for all seasons.
abstract: Often the spoken word does not lend itself to written record. Sometimes, however, the message is such that spoken or written, the value of the statement is such that we wish to revisit it often. My goal in this article is to get nurses to reflect on issues that confront us daily and give us the opportunity to return for further reflection as we mature through the seasons of our own professional growth.
