According to an article in Nursing 2007, lawyers, lawmakers and car salesmen may have problems with their image, but nurses still rank tops with the general public. In a Gallup poll a list of occupations were rated for honesty and ethical standards. 84% of respondents gave nurses “high” or “very high” marks which was well above pharmacists who ranked second at only 73%. The only other professions scoring over 60% were veterinarians, medical doctors and engineers. The lowest scoring occupations were lawyers, senators and congressmen, insurance salesmen and car salesmen.
Since nursing was added to the poll in 1999 they have consistently topped the annual list every year wtih the exception of one.
