abstract="  Introduction.  Professional ethics is a system of rules and norms which provide an exemplary, from the moral point of view, way of behaviour of a given professional group\’s representatives. This ordered and written down system of professional ethics norms is a code of professional ethics. To be able to make a right choice, each nurse should know The Professional Code of Ethics for Nurses and Midwives. Imposing the rules of law points to the best theoretical and practical preparation indispensable to performing the profession competently and efficiently.   Aim.  The aim of the paper was to obtain some information about the level of knowledge of the code of ethics among nurses and midwives of the Pomeranian Medical Academy in Szczecin.   Material and methods.  The research group consisted of 88 Pomeranian Medical Academy students from Szczecin. The research was conducted among 31 I year MA extra-mural students, 18 I year MA daily students and among 39 complementary studies students. A questionnaire designed by one of the authors of the paper was filled in. The obtained results from the questionnaire were used in the statistical analysis.   Results and conclusions.  In the question about the frequency of feeling ethical doubts, 46 nurses said they had them very rarely, 29 nurses felt them a few times a month, 7 nurses did not have them and 6 nurses claimed they voiced ethical doubts a few times a week. The respondents were also asked if they had a need of organizing workshops, conferences or courses on ethical aspects. A huge majority of them (77%) said they had a need of organizing such workshops with philosophers, ethicists, priests or sociologists. Next, 9% of respondents had that need only in nurses\« circles during hospital workshops and 7% thought that these workshops should be organized only in the circle of medical department workers or clinic ones. Finally, 6% of students admitted they did not have such a need at all.",
