Since completing the ethics assignment, my understanding of the nurse’s contribution to ethical conduct of research and implementation of research has changed because before completing the assignment I did not realize how much of a role nurses played in ethical conducts and implementation of research. I think it is important for nurses to know the historical evolution and principles of research ethics because the more we know about the past and what was done, we can learn and grow from what was done. Taking what was learned in the past and learning from it will help us understand the research better. Completing the course objectives has given me great insight into how when I enter the field of nursing, how I can help and recognize ethical disparities that I may encounter.
