Abstract
Members of the often‐beleaguered nursing profession, psychiatric nurses included, have reason to feel a little more appreciated as the new year opens. The largest union of registered nurses, National Nurses United, reminded its members that nursing once again ranked atop the list of professions for honesty and ethics in an annual Gallup public survey. Since nurses became part of the survey in 1999, they have ranked first among professions every year except 2001, when firefighters were included on a one‐time basis and took the top spot in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks. Also this month, the union congratulated more than 7,000 New York City nurses for gains made as a result of a three‐day strike. Union president Deborah Burger, R.N., recently remarked, “As we move into the fourth year of the COVID‐19 pandemic, we are renewing our fight against a money‐driven health care system that refuses to adequately prepare for and protect against public health crises.”
