Abstract
Summary As nursing strives to embrace the ideology of humanism in practice, learnt ways of dealing with the ethical dimensions of practice become increasingly problematic as a framework for guiding ethical action. This paper shares how effective ethical actions can be learnt through guided reflection, using the shared experiences of a primary nurse as an illustration. These experiences are part of an ongoing research study that involves the author working with practitioners to enable them to become effective in defined work.Keywords
