Nurses Top List of Most Honest and Ethical Professions
As a nurse and a college professor who was once in the clergy and an engineer I had to post this latest Gallup Poll on honesty and ethical standards. Pardon my gloating.
GALLUP NEWS SERVICE
PRINCETON, NJ -- Someone seeking a job that commands high respect need look no further than nursing. For the eighth consecutive year, nurses top Gallup's annual list of occupations rated for their honesty and ethical standards, earning high marks from more than four in five Americans. A combined 84% of Americans describe nurses' ethics as "very high" or "high." What's more, only 2% of Americans say nurses have low ethical standards. The worst any sizeable proportion (14%) says about the integrity of nurses is that it is "average."

The clergy, engineers, and college professors are also all in the top eight of this poll.
