Nurses Continue to Lead in Honesty and Ethics Ratings

A recent Gallup poll shows that nurses continue to be rated as the most honest and ethical profession in the U.S., with about three-quarters of adults saying they have high ethical standards—maintaining this top position for more than two decades while most other professions’ ratings have declined.

This enduring trust highlights the strong credibility of healthcare roles at a time when public confidence in many institutions remains low, offering a compelling narrative around trust and values that can inform messaging and positioning in health-related and community-focused campaigns.
