This report explores the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) Code of Conduct and its application to nursing practice. It emphasizes the importance of linking three core principles: compassion, conscience, and competence (3Cs). Compassion is defined as delivering care with empathy, respect, and dignity. Conscience refers to a nurse's ability to discern right from wrong within their scope of practice, while competence highlights the need to understand a patient's individualized healthcare needs, including their social and cultural context. The report connects these 3Cs to the NMBA Code of Conduct, which mandates nurses to act with integrity, honesty, respect, and compassion. The NMBA Code also stresses the importance of practicing safely, effectively, and collaboratively, while providing patient-centered and culturally safe care. The report references relevant literature to support its analysis of the 3Cs and their alignment with the NMBA's professional standards.
