poll for ethics and honesty
Nursing is the leading profession when it comes to
ethics and honesty, according to a well-known poll.
Among professions surveyed by the annual Gallup
honesty/ethics poll, nurses have been at the top of
the list since 2001, and remain there after the latest
survey conducted in December 2016. In that survey,
84% of respondents rated nurses as being very high
or high as professionals who are honest and ethical.
Nurses ranked at the top among 22 professions
listed in the most recent survey.
3. Nurses rank # 1 once again in Gallup
poll for ethics and honesty
“For the 15th consecutive year nursing again has
received the amazing honor of being ranked the
most trusted profession in the country by the
American public,” said Eileen Williamson, MSN, RN,
senior vice president and chief nurse executive at
Nurse.com. “Few designations could be more of a
professional badge of honor than being named first
among the 22 professions surveyed in the Gallup
poll for honesty and ethical standards. As a nurse, I
could not be more proud of what the public thinks
of my colleagues and the nursing profession.”
4. Nurses rank # 1 once again in Gallup
poll for ethics and honesty
In the survey, respondents are asked to rate the
honest and ethical standards of people in
different fields, choosing among very high, high,
average, low and very low. For the past 15 years,
pharmacists and medical doctors ranked just
below nurses, with members of Congress at the
bottom of the list. This year, 67% of respondents
rated pharmacists high or very high and 65%
rated medical doctors high or very high.
5. Nurses rank # 1 once again in Gallup
poll for ethics and honesty
In all 15 years, no lower than 79% of
respondents ranked nurses as high or very high
in honesty and ethics, according to the Gallup
poll. “We’re allowed into some of the most
private moments and important times of
patients’ lives,” Williamson said. “Our focus on
confidentiality and professionalism shows and
both patients and the general public have
noticed.”
6. Nurses rank # 1 once again in Gallup
poll for ethics and honesty
Gallup conducts the surveys via telephone interviews
with a random sampling of ate least 1,000 adults ages 18
and older living in the U.S. The margin of sampling error
for this year’s survey was + or – 4 percentage points,
according to Gallup. “Few other professions [besides
healthcare] fare so well in Gallup’s annual look at honesty
and ethical standards among various fields,” wrote Jim
Norman, in a Dec. 19 online article posted on
Gallup.com.“Healthy majorities of the American public
continue to show a willingness to trust the honest and
ethical standards of healthcare providers — nurses,
doctors, pharmacists and dentists,” he wrote.
7. Nurses rank # 1 once again in Gallup
poll for ethics and honesty
Nurses have topped the list every year but once
since Gallup began including nursing in the polls in
1999. Firefighters topped the list in 2001, when
Gallup included that profession in its survey after
the 9/11 terrorist attacks. “Whether nurses are by
the bedside or in the board room, we continue to
be a trusted resource and a vital part of our nation’s
healthcare system,” Pamela F. Cipriano, PhD, RN,
NEA-BC, FAAN, president of the American Nurses
Association, said in an ANA news release. “This poll
reflects the trust the public has in us, and we’ll
continue to work hard to keep that trust.”
