NET 2018 Conference: An investigation of professional integrity in pre-registration nurse education

Research paper

This presentation sets out to share a model of professional integrity which arose from the findings of a local modified grounded theory investigation which explored experiences of professional integrity in pre-registration nurse education amongst student nurses practice-based mentors and lecturers. Insights into participants’ experiences of professional integrity were gained through interviews and focus groups. This research proposes a model of professional integrity that puts people particularly recipients of healthcare at the centre and that requires genuine healthcare practice and the management of complex situations.
