As students are involved in the clinical and academic environments, ethical principles are a necessary guide to professional development. Therefore within these environments the student nurse is expected to:

  • Give patient’s centred care
  • Maintain confidentiality i.e to keep every information related to the patient confidential and give patient care in a truthful, timely, accurate and in professional manner.
  • Take appropriate action to ensure the safety of patients, self, and others.
  • Promote a good moral character and follow ethical principles and be responsible for their own personal actions.
  • Treat everyone with respect and learn to respect human rights, their values, culture and spiritual beliefs.
  • Use every opportunity to improve learning and ensure highest quality care.
