Background and Objective: Nursing is one of the most important fields in the country’s health care systems. The main goal of the nurse is to directly ensure the patient's health and recovery, along with related indicators. This realization is possible only if it is implemented through scientific and practical care and adherence to ethical principles and practices.
Methods: In this review study, keywords related to ethics, nursing ethics, and student reasoning were extracted. Each item with the keywords 'ethics', 'nursing', 'Estalal', and 'student' was searched in internationally recognized databases, including Scopus, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, PubMed, ProQuest, and Elsevier. Over the past ten years, 150 articles were retrieved, 70 were excluded, and finally, 50 articles were reviewed. Of these, 30 were included in the study due to their relevance.
Findings: The findings showed that a significant part of nursing ethics and student reasoning in this field is supported by scientific evidence. This includes observing ethical principles and rules, student reasoning, institutionalizing the code of ethics among students, and informing them about professional life.
Conclusions: The present study showed that students should attend ethics workshops upon entering the university each semester, and that the code of ethics should be included in their courses. Although nursing students may face ethical dilemmas in clinical settings, they can gain valuable experience over time by taking various workshops
