Who can differentiate ethics and morality?

why is nursing both profession and vocation?

Ethics is the set of rules that governs the acts of men to be good while morality is the disposition to be good. Nursing is both a profession and vocation because it is a work that needs dedication to serve others. Be good at all times and you will be rewarded.

That's two questions.

ethics is the study of morality.

only if it is your passion does it become a vocation truly nurse enjoy there work and live to aid people in there time of troubles if they do not then what are they nothing

Morals are based upon a "deeper and more spiritual" foundation where as ethics are more specific to an individual or group.

Ethics - The general and abstract concepts of right and wrong behavior culled from philosophy, theology, and professional societies

Morality - goodness according to a recognized code of conduct, as in: For their leader they chose a person of the highest morality

I don't know about nursing.

Nursing is a vocation that has gained accreditation and been renamed a profession through political correctness.

Ethics are a system of values derived from one's own, personal reflection and reasoning.

Morals are a system of values received from some source outside the individual, like from religious or political teachings.

"Profession" and "vocation" are very similar terms, as used by most people. It is unclear why you imagine any contradiction between them -- or why you have included this second, apparently unrelated question.

Ethics is a code of morality. Registered nurses are professional nurses. Practical nurses are vocational nurses.

I don't feel like answering but thanks for the points.

I agree with Boozemuse22. Ethics is the study of morality.

WOW!!!! You guys got deep on this one.
