Abstract
Nursing staff is increasingly positioned in the media as an independent, professional cohort. It is confirmed by one of the latest initiatives of the Ministry of Health of Russia – to redistribute some of the medical tasks and administrative functions from doctors to nurses. These and other reforms increase the role of communication in the provision of quality medical care, and the communicative competence of nursing staff is becoming an important factor in the development of the entire nursing service. However the ethical principles formulated a century and a half ago by the creator of modern nursing F. Nightingale remain unchanged. The article presents results of the author’s survey of nurses from several medical and preventive treatment institutions for their relationship with patients, relatives, colleagues. The results of the study show that the principles of deontology and professional attitude towards all participants in the direct care are preserved among the nursing staff.
