The chapter on hospital ethics and discipline includes such subjects as head nurse’s relation to rules, first principles in teaching ethics, honesty, obedience, personality, social relations, discreteness of speech, carriage, quietness, expression of appreciation, criticism, maintaining discipline, personal responsibility, etc.

AIKENS’ ETHICS FOR NURSES

This book emphasizes the importance of ethical training for nurses. It is a most excellent text-book, particularly well adapted for classroom work. The plan of the book calls for a combination of the recitation and discussion method of class teaching. The book is inspirational in that it will arouse desires to work up to higher standards of life and conduct. The illustrations and practical problems used in the book are drawn from life. There is no other work just like this one.
