Nurse ethicists: Innovative resource or ideological aspiration?
Nurs Ethics. 2023 Aug;30(5):680-687. doi: 10.1177/09697330231191817.ABSTRACTIn recent years, there have been growing calls for nurses to have a formal advanced practice role as nurse ethicists in hospital contexts.

Is nurses' clinical competence associated with their moral identity and injury?
CONCLUSION: According to the results, moral identity and moral injury had an impact on the clinical competence of nurses.

Public health nurses' experiences of ethical responsibility: A meta-ethnography
Nurs Ethics. 2023 Oct 27:9697330231209294. doi: 10.1177/09697330231209294. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPublic health nursing is grounded in public health ideologies and fundamental nursing values. Researchers have argued that ethical responsibility from the perspective of the nurse is an understudied phenomenon. This meta-ethnography provides in-depth knowledge of how public health nurses (PHNs) experience ethical responsibility when working to prevent injury and disease, and promote health and well-being in children, young people and their families. There are reciprocal findings across the 10 included studies. The findi...
