Why this Organization Interests You?
From the Paper
"A major drawback of the ANA is the membership dues - at $ 255.00 for the Full Membership Dues, some nurse practitioners, especially those in economically depressed areas of the United States, will find the amount steep! Although it is a prestigious organization to be part of, this stature costs a bundle. The ANA have Reduced and Special Dues though but these are for student, unemployed and retired nurses. Another possible disadvantage of joining the ANA is the political agenda they endorse; a particular member or a group of members may not believe or may be against some of the association's political agenda."

Abstract
This paper discusses the history of nursing ethics. It first looks at issues of conduct and moral behavior as detailed by Florence Nightingale in 1893. The paper then describes and discusses the nine codes of ethics for nurses and their implications. The paper also discusses how nursing ethics differs from medical ethics. The paper concludes that in the modern era, the ethics of nursing has shifted toward the promotion of patient's rights.
From the Paper
"Though much of nursing ethics has resulted from medical ethics, there are a few factors that set it apart from this. The key distinction is that paternalism, which is often a key element in theories of medical ethics, is generally not attuned with nursing ethics. This is because nursing theory seeks a shared relationship with the person in their case. It, as a result, emphasizes autonomy of the person being nursed over paternalistic practice where the health professional seeks to do what they believe to be in the person's or society's best interest. Codes of ethics for nurses have a tendency to be written in the ethical structure of deontology and are thus based on the rights of the patient and the duties of the nurse rather than on practical concerns of the consequences mitigating the act."

A nurse's license may be suspended or taken away. However, each institution will also support the nurse in evaluating an occurrence report, and how the incident happened, along with how it could have been prevented. There are many opportunities for teaching and putting better procedures into place that do not cause harm to the patient or cause a nurse to be fired. "

Nursing Code of Ethics, 2008.
A look at the code of ethics set out for the nursing profession.

Abstract
This paper discusses the nursing code of ethics, which briefly states the moral obligations and duties of every individual who enters the nursing profession. It outlines the five main sections of the code and explains the disciplinary actions that may be taken in the event that a nurse chooses not to follow the guidelines outlined.
From the Paper
"A code of ethics is not expected to provide guidelines for all situations. Ambiguities will occur and personal judgment will be required, (Trevino & Nelson, 2004). Sometimes an employee becomes stuck in a dilemma where two right actions are in conflict with each other or any course of action violates some aspect of this code. Ultimately, the employee must reflect carefully on such situations before making the tough decision. Contemplating the values and goals of alternative ethical paradigms may be useful in reaching a decision, (Trevino & Nelson, 2004).
"Ethics is part of the foundation upon which nursing is built. The ethical tradition of nursing is self-reflective, enduring, and distinctive. Rooted in a continuing concern for the welfare of those who receive care, as well as for the moral shape of society, nursing ethics have a prominent history of concern that involves both the individual and the community, (ANA, 2005). Individuals who become nurses are expected not simply to adhere to the ideals and norms of the profession but rather to embrace them as a part of what it means to be a nurse. Nursing includes the protection, promotion and restoration of health, the prevention of illness, and the alleviation of suffering in the care of patients, as individuals, families, groups and communities, (ANA , 2005)."

National Association of Social Worker's Code of Ethics, 2004.
Addresses the problem of multiculturalism in the NASW's ethical code.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper argues that the present depiction of multiculturalism in the NASW's Code of Ethics, as a kind of social worker capability, is imprecise and can lead to the encouraging of unintentional stereotyping. The paper also asserts that it is uncertain whether or not licensing boards can correctly determine a social worker's ability in this subject. Instead, multiculturalism, as part of the social worker's code of ethics. has turned out to be more of a statement of belief to which social workers feel obliged to adhere than a body of knowledge that enlightens the practice of social work.
From the Paper
"The rational positioning of the idea is an ethical principle concerning righteous social work practice. The standard embraces the understanding of a customer?s manners, thoughts, as well as feelings in the complete background of the religious, sociocultural, ethnic, as well as economic life within which all of these take place (Comas-Diaz, 1996; Green, 1995). Respect, understanding, as well as appreciation for the customer are the eventual expressions of whatever may be proposed by the conception of multiculturalism."

From the Paper
"Policies, in general, are high-level statements of goals, objectives, beliefs and ethics that are higher management's directions indicating mandatory action and compliance corporate-wide; they are means of addressing and/or averting problems. But policies are not enough to ensure compliance since it should be released with guidelines and implementing rules and regulations to enable the recipients or readers of the policies to know and determine the actions required of them to abide by the policies. Policies, guidelines, rules and regulations may be in separate documents or consolidated in a single document."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the ethics codes of the American Counseling Association (ACA) 2005 Draft Code of Ethics, the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC) Code of Ethics-Y2004 Final Code, and the American Association of Pastoral Counselors (AAPC) Code of Ethics. The paper looks at responsibilities that the counseling associations share, as well as the responsibilities that are unique to each association.
From the Paper
"The first level of comparison between the three ethics codes begins with finding the similarities and differences they display in their duties to clients. There exist several similarities in this regard between them. In terms of obtaining informed consent, the ACA codes of ethics states (A2. a) that clients can choose to either continue or terminate treatment at any time. This would be after the counselor discharges his/her duty in informing the client exactly how the counseling would occur, what the counselor's credentials were, and what rights and responsibilities were enjoined upon both the counselor and client.

Abstract
This paper explains that, one of the oldest codes of ethics is in the Old Testament, known as the Ten Commandments, which are simple, easy to understand, documented rules for behavior, which are still used by a great number of organizations. The author points out codes of ethics belonging to such contemporary organizations as the medical profession, newspapers, psychologists and senior financial officers. The paper relates that a personal code of ethics should be short, easy to understand, adhere to the laws of the state and, above all else, the actions required should treat all people fairly and justly.
From the Paper
"As ethics codes change their main aim and become an exercise of the use of codes to protect a reputation first and foremost, it can be argued that there is less discretion allowed, indicating both a lower level of trust and a lower level of acceptable risk, seeking to cover and identify any and every situation. It may also be argued that, with a fifty two page document, it is also impossible for an individual, in this case an employee or contractor for the "New York Times", to read and memorize the entire document, reducing its effectiveness, seeking to extend its influence in terms of scope and influence private as well as public behavior."

Abstract
The topic of ethics from the aspect of a professional and scientific viewpoint has emerged as a topic of significant concern in recent years, both for the Department of Justice and for other organizations as well. Ethics is generally a term used to describe a set of values that describe what is right or wrong, good or bad. As a result, guidelines and discussions surrounding ethics should be applicable to a broad range of cases, as conflicts are likely to arise between ethical principles. Any system of ethical principles is derived from philosophical reasoning, and research in this area indicates that if we have a system of a few principles that apply in all cases and are never contradictory, we have a clear and precise ethical system. As easy as it sounds, however, this is not always the case. This paper examines and analyzes the code of ethics from a professional and scientific perspective.

Bibliography
From the Paper
"Many questions have been raised as to what the term "ethics" actually refers to. From a professional and scientific point of view, the ethics of business and the moral code of our society are inseparable, sometimes indistinguishable (Solomon & Hanson, 1985). Ethics is a branch of philosophy that is concerned with the principles and standards of human conduct. Ethics arise not from man's law but from human nature itself making it a body of natural laws from which man's laws follow (Bottorff, 2004). Ethics is a normative science that is concerned with the norms of human conduct. As a science ethics must follow the same rigors of logic as other sciences. When scientific ethical reasoning is properly applied ethics becomes a useful tool for sorting out the good and bad components of complex human interactions (Bottorff, 2004)."

Microsoft Corporation?s Code of Ethics.
This paper discusses Microsoft Corporation's code of ethics.
1,060 words (approx. 4.2 pages), 3 sources, APA, $ 37.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the defenders of non-proprietary software, as opposed to Microsoft's proprietary model, might state that a Microsoft code of ethics is an oxymoron, given the company's perceived rapacity and market dominance, but the Microsoft Corporation does have a formal, published ethical code, which is accessible and formally defined. The author points out that the business code of ethics denies any anti-trust violations without mentioning the lawsuit, states why the Internet browser was wrongly defamed, and does not indicate anything specific as to how the company is achieving anti-trust compliance now. The paper states that the dominance of the firm in the market structure may be socially irresponsible, needlessly gouging consumers, and acting unfairly against rival firms; for a business to be socially responsible, it must fulfill its obligations to its employees, shareholders, consumers, and to the community where it operates at large.
From the Paper
"Microsoft's code of ethics applies to company software development, the legal and financial compliance of all the various national and international facets of its business dealings, and underlines its fair treatment of employees and customers. It is sweeping in its manifesto, but so sweeping it is inclined to be vague. Other than stressing Microsoft's compliance with laws, it is short on specifics as to how these compliances are achieved."
