When researching rn jobs make sure the prospective employer acknowledges and adheres to the “Nursing Bill of Rights” put forth by the American Nurses Association. Nurses have the right to be able to fulfill their nursing obligations to patients in a safe way and to be fairly compensated for the work they do. Nurses must be able to work in an environment that fosters ethical behavior and to advocate for themselves and their patients in times of controversy without retribution. This “bill of rights” is an important tool that a nurse can utilize to facilitate discussions about workplace concerns. A nurse should be able to work in a place that instills feelings of safety and respect.
