The definition of integrity is having the qualities of honesty, fairness, and high moral principles. Nurses have been voted in the Gallop Poll as the most honest and ethical profession for 18 years in a row, and there is good reason for that. Nurses follow a code of ethics and demonstrate high levels of integrity by being authentic, consistent advocates for their patients and working well within the confines of their state's Nurse Practice Act. Integrity is about doing the right thing, at the right time, for the right individual with the right motives. Answer this question carefully and authentically, if asked.
