According to the Gallup poll, 85% of Americans say that nurses are highly trustworthy. This makes nursing the most trusted out of any profession, with pharmacists and doctors coming in second and third place, respectively. According to the American Nursing Association (ANA), this is the 14th year in a row that the nursing profession has earned this honor.
