Abstract
Care ethics and traditional ethics were studied as they relate to the development of moral reasoning among nurses. Pretest findings suggest that nurses with varying years of experience perform at similar levels of principled reasoning. Post hoc comparisons show a significant increase (p < .05) in principled reasoning after instruction in care ethics among nurses with less than 5 years of experience. More experienced nurses demonstrate a nonsignificant pattern of improved principled reasoning in the traditional and combined groups. Improvement endures 2 months but dissipates 1 year after instruction. Replication and further study is warranted to validate care and traditional ethics on moral reasoning.
