Why Ethics Matter: Real World Application of the Code of Ethics for Nurses

Ethically challenging situations can be particularly difficult during your early years as an RN. The Code of Ethics for Nurses, newly revised in 2025, can help you make appropriate and effective decisions that respect your patients’ needs and rights while also maintaining your professional ethical standards.

This 60-minute, on-demand webinar will use a case-based analysis with an ethical decision-making framework that focuses on four critical areas: Moral awareness, moral motivation, moral judgement, and moral action.

Important Information:

Attendance is FREE for both ANA members and non-members.

Real-world cases will provide action-oriented approaches for ensuring you are:

• Caring for all individuals and respecting human dignity
• Protecting patient health and safety by challenging questionable practices
• Promoting social justice and identifying racism in the profession
• Supporting an ethical environment and a culture of excellence
• Respecting your duty to self, versus the duty to others, when there is a considerable environmental risk

After viewing this webinar, you will gain a stronger understanding of these approaches so you can more easily use them in your day-to-day nursing practice. Provisions in the Code of Ethics for Nurses and ANA Ethics position statements will illuminate how these concepts can be applied in a practical way.

Who should attend: Early-career nurses in all practice settings

Additional Information: This program is informational only; no CNE is being awarded. After viewing, ALL registered viewers will be able to download personalized proof of viewing right from the webinar console.
