Honoring American Nurse Ethicists

Winifred J Ellenchild Pinch

Creighton University, Omaha, NE, USA, wpinch{at}creighton.edu

A project featuring scholars in nursing ethics was planned in 2005. The goal was to document the contributions of some 24 selected American nurse ethicists to bioethics, and to discuss and explore the future trajectory of that work through a two-day working seminar. This article outlines the beginnings of bioethics in the USA and the specific contribution of nurse scholars to the debate, the preparation for the seminar, the results of the project, and the possible application of such a model for teaching and archiving in the future. Documentation of the work carried out at the seminar resulted in the publication of a book. Short biographies of the participants at the seminar are included in Appendix 1.

Key Words: American nurse ethicists • humanities • model project • nursing ethics • publication • scholarship
