The very first assignment taught me about academic integrity and how it is important for nurses to be honest. Patients need to know that they can rely on us with their important information and that we will not steal from them or breach their confidentiality. Additionally, I learned

Someone who displays true integrity does not act honestly and sincerely just in easy situations, but also in the most difficult. Integrity is a value everyone should strive to perfect both professionally and personally.…
