The nursing profession is different from medicine in the levels of cultural authority and the level of public trust. Although medicine has significantly higher cultural authority, nursing enjoys the higher public trust and it has been chosen as the most trusted profession in the United States for the past 19 years in a row. I believe that the trust of the public in the nursing profession is warranted by an established role of nurses as patient advocates. As such, it is a goal of nursing to protect the interests of individuals in light of changing authority on health.
