Discuss the concept of virtue ethics as described by Crigger and Godfrey (2011) in The Making of Nurse Professionals.
(42) VerifiedIn their book The Making of Nurse Professionals, Crigger and Godfrey (2011) focused on virtue ethics as the core framework for professionalism in nursing. In this view, an individual responds to specific situations in a manner that is appropriate to that particular situation. When performed in an admirable manner, the moral message that this was "good" is reinforced so the person will conduct the action similarly in future situations. This viewpoint emphasizes that the nurse has a choice in how to interact with patients and in society at large. This experiential development process is transformational and moves toward encompassing professional ideals and ethics when good choices are reinforced.
