LiteratureLiterature ReviewReviewNurse administrators and staff nurses have essentially the same value priorities. Yarbrough, Alfred, and Martin (2008)

Level of education is positively related to more highly rated perceived professional values. Kubsch et al. (2008) 

Nurse leaders view ethical issues essentially the same way as staff nurses. Cooper et al. (2004)

Limitations of Data SetLimitations of Data SetNo differentiation between RN vs LPN in data set

No variable for retention at HSH

Years of experience collected as ordinal level of measurement rather than interval level (limits power)

Study based on previous work by Yarbrough et al. (2003).

No coding criteria for revised NPRS

Limitations of Sample:Limitations of Sample:Primarily white (98.4%)

Few male nurses in sample (8)

Sampling bias: nurses with low professional values may not remain in profession

Low response rate

ConclusionsConclusionsTop three values of entire sample: 

Safe‐guarding privacyRespect for human dignityAssuming accountability and responsibility for actions.

Nurse administrators and staff nurses have essentially the same value priorities, but organizational ethics create challenges for both groups.
