Nurses rated ‘most trusted’ position

The U.S. public continues to rate nurses as the most trusted position, according to this year’s Gallup survey that ranks professions based on honesty and ethical standards, the American Nurses Association announced.

“Nurses are on the front lines of healthcare. We advocate on patients’ behalf whether we are at the bedside or in the boardroom,” American Nurses Association President Karen Daley said in a press release. “Patients understand that nurses are committed to improving the quality of their care, and this poll reflects the high regard they have for their profession.”
