Resources for student nurses:
- Code of Ethics:
- If there’s one essential read for student nurses, it’s this. The Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements, or “The Code”, is a vital tool for all nurses now and in the future.
- While the foundational values of nursing do not change, The Code is regularly updated to ensure it’s relevant to nurses today. It supports all nurses, from students to Chief Nursing Officers (CNO), in providing consistently respectful, humane, and dignified care.
- ANA Career Center:
- Finding the right job in nursing has never been easier. Search for the position that best matches your talents and needs, post your résumé, and apply.
