The learning from the case study basically relates to maintaining my relationship with the patients and keeping in mind that they come from different backgrounds and cultures. According to the therapeutic guidelines of professional boundaries being a nurse I have to accept their independence as a human being and make sure not to have any over/under involvement with the patients (NMBA, 2010a; NMBA, 2008a, 3). To be professionally ethical I will always follow the workplace regulations and policies. I will work to promote the safety of health care staff, patients and the families. I will always take accountability of my actions and decisions, take professional, legal and ethical responsibility to work according to the scope of practice, preserve
I will not alter any facts or rules just for personal benefit or gain, and will always be dependable, trustworthy and reliable for the organization. I promise to build my reputation only on the basis of merit, and nothing else. I strongly believe that in order to receive fair treatment from others, it is very important to demonstrate that within yourself first. Thus, I try my best to be polite and respectful to everyone I meet. This ensures that I don't add to anyone's problems, if any, and provides for polite interaction with everyone I encounter. With integrity comes courage. I will never hesitate to stand up for what is right, and I will do so even if I am in a difficult situation that demands me to ignore my personal feelings. I will always support the truth and never let anyone influence me to do otherwise. I will not give in to peer pressure and will never let the fear of failing affect my actions. I would like to conclude by saying that it is the responsibility of every healthcare administrator to abide by a code of ethics in healthcare that will benefit not only themselves, but also their working environment, and society as a whole. My list of personal ethics will definitely help me fulfill my responsibility as a healthcare
