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.

"I believe that when I preserve my integrity, then decisions because easier. Integrity defines my character, and when I say what I mean and mean what I say and do the right thing for myself and my nursing license, everybody wins. I want people to identify me as someone who can be counted on to do the right thing and not just the easy thing. I believe that sometimes the right thing is ultimately the easiest in the end, even when it doesn't seem like that from the beginning. When you are responsible for a patient's life or health in some way, there is no other option for me."
"Integrity means always being honest and straightforward. Patients and their families must believe that when we say something, it's the truth."
