Nurses work in dynamic environments that are rapidly changing, yet a core principle holds constant: nurses ’ have a legitimate interest in serving their patients, families, and communities while fulfilling nursing values and safeguarding their integrity and trustworthiness (Rushton& Stutzer,  2015).
