title: Nursing ethics committees--where are they?
abstract: When establishing Nursing Ethics Committees (NECs), statewide nursing organizations play an important role in developing and disseminating resources. The Connecticut Nurses Association Ethics and Human Rights Committee surveyed 85 healthcare facilities to identify active NECs. Representatives facilitated other committees by providing guidelines and assistance to those agencies developing NECs--the ultimate goal.
