Malfeasance and regaining nursing's moral voice and integrity

W K Mohr et al. Nurs Ethics. 2001 Jan.

Abstract

This article discusses some of the most recent developments in US mental health services that follow on the heels of the for-profit hospital scandal that was brought to public attention less than a decade ago. As individuals and as a profession, nurses have a responsibility to uncover, openly discuss and condemn malfeasance when it occurs, yet there has been a collective silence about these developments. The authors explore the reasons for this and make recommendations for regaining nursing's moral voice and integrity.
