Abstract
The purpose of this study was to gather information about the various curricular approaches used by baccalaureate nursing programs for teaching ethics. Specific information sought included: faculty preparation in ethics; use of an ethical framework; goals and objectives for ethics; ethics content and learning experiences included; sequencing of content and learning experiences; placement of ethics into a separate course, integrated into the curriculum, or both; identification, integration, and linkage of ethics content across the curriculum; hours of ethics content; learning resources used; who teaches ethics; and faculty experience with ethics. Beauchamp's curriculum process (1981) was used as a theoretical framework. This study was a descriptive mail survey.
