Abstract

Ethics is one of the characteristics of contemporary civilization.
Health care system faces uniquely complex ethical problems. Many points of serious
concern need to be raised under the concept of ethics. For nurse entrepreneurs
to be professionally credible they have to be competent and accountable. While
fundamental responsibility lies with the individual nurse entrepreneur, the
professions have to evidently improve these essential attributes as well. The
code of nursing ethics would constitute supplementation of legal provisions and
professional regulations. There is growing recognition of the important contributions
made by nurse entrepreneurs within health care systems and an acknowledgement
that nurse entrepreneurship promises future advancement in health care. As a
consequence, ethics will contribute to harmonious, agreeable cooperation of
patients in entrepreneurship processes by nurses, as well as harmonious social
coexistence with the healthcare environment which in itself cannot protect.
