Grade school teachers second, with pharmacists and military officers
PRINCETON, NJ — Gallup’s annual survey on the honesty and ethical standards of various professions finds nurses at the top of the list, as they have been all but one year since they were first added to the poll in 1999. Almost 8 in 10 Americans, 79%, give the nurses a “very high” or “high” rating, down slightly from 83% last year. In 2001, shortly after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, nurses were topped by firefighters, who received a very high/high rating from 90% of Americans.
