Profits Philosophy

The Professional Integrity System of the University of Kansas School of Nursing delineates a standard of behavior expected of all persons associated with the School. The system helps prepare students to practice professionally and ethically in the nursing role. Becoming a member of the School of Nursing obliges implicit and explicit adherence to the system, without which learning and personal responsibility would be compromised and community standards would suffer.

PROFITS builds on values brought to the academic setting and provides a means of incorporating these values to form the foundation of professional nursing practice. This standard addresses behaviors in classroom and clinical settings, evaluation and non-evaluation situations, and research and scholarly endeavors. It promotes a spirit of community conducive to mutual trust and responsibility among students, faculty, and staff. Students and faculty share the responsibility for development, implementation, and evaluation of the system.
