The role of the nurse in the millennium.

The paper emphasizes the changing role of the nurse in the millenium. The changes will be in three basic fields: 1. Education: In education, the criteria for acceptance to nursing school will become higher, so that the requirement for trained nurses will increase. The new nurse will be focused on the role of management and leadership. 2. Service: The nursing service will be the guider which will lead the discipline of nursing treatment via knowledge, new nursing technologies and new managing techniques. The service will change the professional independence of the nurse into full partner and collaborator with other professions. 3. Community: The new nurses role will be derived from a new concept of "health for all" which will lead to a wider view of the entire community. Management will be the major qualification needed by the community nurse, using judgement, advanced knowledge and the ability of decision making and determining priorities. The nurse will have to fit her abilities and qualifications to the changes needed, using authority, responsibility and advanced knowledge.

The attitudes of nurses and third and fourth year nursing students who deal with ethical issues.

Ethical attitudes towards pregnant women were examined by using a questionnaire among 50 nurses, 50 midwives and 100 nursing students (third and fourth years). The main findings show that nurses and students differ in: (1) their knowledge of the Code of Ethics; (2) their protection of patients' rights with regard to secrecy and privacy; and (3) their reporting of mistakes. These findings highlight the need for more serious study of ethics among senior professional nurses.
