Excerpt from Studies in Ethics for Nurses The plan of the book calls for a combination of the recitation and discussion method of class teaching. It is the author's conviction, based on observation and experience, that ten minutes which nurses are obliged to spend quietly, out of class, in the careful weighing of ethical problems, and of the far-reaching consequences of certain matters of conduct - ten minutes of serious reflection on concrete problems in which ethical principles are involved, will accomplish more in impressing them with the importance of right decisions than hours of lectures on the abstract virtues - lectures in which the nurse is simply a passive agent Who is expected to absorb a certain amount of the ethical instruction she is listen ing to. What is most needed is that the nurse, while in training, should be obliged to meditate on the ethical questions likely to confront a nurse, to have those questions interpreted to her, and the lessons applied to her own life experiences. The lecture method of teach ing has been tried, intermittently, for years, with ex ceedingly unsatisfactory results to teacher, to pupil, and to the school. Lectures have been largely abandoned in other classes in the best schools, and lectures cannot too soon be abandoned in the teaching of ethics, if results worth while are to be expected.
