title: Keeping codes current. An ethics program to support nursing practice.
abstract: In this article, we focus our attention on the Canadian Nurses Association's Code of Ethics (Code) for Registered Nurses (1997) and the background against which it was developed. In doing so, we highlight the participation of nurses in its development and the strategies designed to keep the Code "alive," useful, and current.
