Nurses have ranked at the top of Gallup’s annual poll of “Most Trusted Professions” 12 out of the last 13 times they’ve been included as an option.  The only year that they did not top the list was in 2001, when firefighters achieved the top honor after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.  USA Today and Gallup co-host the poll, where Americans vote on 21 different professions based on their “honesty and ethical standards”.

Two other medical professions, pharmacists and medical doctors rounded out the top 5:

1. Nurses
2. Military officers
3. Pharmacists
4. Grade school teachers
5. Medical Doctors

We’d like to take this opportunity to congratulate all of our customers out there in the nursing field!  You can read the rest of the article here:
