This article discusses some of the most recent developments in US mental health services that follow on the heels of the for-profit hospital scandal that was brought to public attention less than a decade ago. As individuals and as a profession, nurses have a responsibility to uncover, openly discuss and condemn malfeasance when it occurs, yet there has been a collective silence about these developments. The authors explore the reasons for this and make recommendations for regaining nursing's moral voice and integrity.
本文讨论了美国心理健康服务领域的一些最新发展，这些发展紧随着不到十年前引起公众关注的营利性医院丑闻而来。作为个体以及作为一个职业群体，护士有责任在不当行为发生时予以揭露、公开讨论并加以谴责，然而对于这些发展却一直存在集体沉默。作者探究了其中的原因，并就恢复护理行业的道德话语权和诚信提出了建议。
