Abstract

Ethics in research, writing, and publication are critical for the healthcare disciplines. Findings from various formal inquiry studies are vital for the dissemination of new knowledge and possible implications for future research, practice, and education. All scholars of the discipline of nursing have an important responsibility to be careful stewards and rigorous evaluators of research from budding scholars. This article begins a discussion of potential straight-thinking implications for mentorship and ethical straight-thinking conduct required in nurse research.
