he Purpose, Mission, and Vision of SONEI are:
- Purpose: To integrate nursing ethics throughout nursing
- Vision: To foster a culture, grounded in nursing ethics, that supports nursing excellence in every role and setting.
- Mission: To promote ethical leadership in healthcare by bringing together all nurses and allied scholars with a shared interest in expanding the depth of nursing ethics.
Our Plenary Meetings for Ethics Specialists
- Our standing plenary meetings for ethics professionals are currently held on the second Wednesday of each month at noon Pacific time, 3PM Eastern US Time. The membership meetings are an hour long.
Policy on Information Sharing
- The Steering Committee (SC) has determined that information about members will not be shared outside the organization. Those allied groups that wish to distribute invitations to conferences, webinars, intensive courses, or other activities will be able to do so, upon SC review and approval, by providing the information to the SC for distribution to the membership.

Our Compass
The compass is a fitting symbol to represent a moral compass, that which points us to the right, the good, the fitting. The Society for Nursing Ethics International has adopted this compass as its pictographic logo. We are grateful to our design artist Dr. Rebecca Roe for designing our graphic and pictographic logos
