The case for a student honor code and beyond.
Preparing graduates to enter practice as responsible and accountable nurses is an essential goal of nursing programs. Faculty must be deliberate in their efforts to enhance personal and professional integrity and to facilitate the development of a value system that the graduates can incorporate into their professional practices. A student honor code within a school of nursing is one strategy that faculty can use to facilitate the development of these characteristics. A variety of resources, both human and printed, are available to guide the faculty.
