ARE YOU COMPLIANT

WITH THE CODE?

Type in what you would like to say and find

out if it will lose you your nursing job!

Under the Nursing Council’s proposed 2026 Code of Conduct, nurses must maintain “high standards of professional and personal behaviour” at all times, including in their personal lives and online.
‍
This tool helps you check whether your thoughts, opinions, jokes,
or frustrations are Code-compliant. (Spoiler: they probably aren’t.)

If this feels absurd, that’s because it is.

The Nursing Council’s draft Code of Conduct would extend professional discipline into nurses’ private speech and personal lives, using vague standards that chill criticism and silence concern.

Nurses should not have to run their thoughts through a compliance machine to keep their livelihood.

“I didn’t train for 3 years to
lose my job over a tweet.”

“I should be able to go home
and whinge about my day at work if I want to.”

“What I get up to in my spare
time doesn’t have anything to do with the care I give to my patients.”
