Introduction: Emergency ward is where the hospital and the society meet. In this ward the first impression is made on the patients and their attendants; and obviously, the first impression should be a positive one. Nurses form the largest group of healthcare and treatment teams in emergency wards and the quality of healthcare and treatment will depend to a great extent on how the services are provided by the nurses. One of the most important factors in patient satisfaction is the adherence to ethical principles in the interrelations between the nurse and patient at the emergency ward. In Islam, ethics is one of the noblest sciences, being referred to in many verses of Quran and in many Shiite Hadiths (narrations) (holy sayings from the Prophet and Imams), so that the holy Prophetâ??s good mood is known to be substantial to the formation of an Islamic society. In Islamic culture, the purpose of man is to get close to god; and ethical deeds are the most essential way to achieve this. Method: The present study is a review paper, the contents of which have been gathered through library search (digital and manual) of books and articles from accredited websites. Discussion: Nursing ethics are categorized as: Professional ethics; and Islamic, human ethics. Professional ethics refers to a set of behavioral manifestations which a nurse should perform in their position of a nurse; some with a positive (compulsory) and some, a negative (prohibitory) nature. Code of professional ethics are: due effort towards achieving nursing skills and knowledge; continuous effort towards research and new skills; accuracy and responsibility in performing their tasks and; mutual respect and good relationships towards healthcare providers and Islamic human ethics are a set of behaviors and features a nurse should perform or avoid as a human-being and as a Muslim. Codes of Islamic human ethics are: morality and trust; tolerating the patient; tenderness; conversing with patient; greeting the patients; friendship with patient; sympathizing with patient; loyalty and honesty and; chastity. Conclusion: Emergency nurses are closely related to life and death values, life quality, and healthcare. Having a high, divine purpose and being cognizant of the fact that patients are under Godâ??s special attention, and a pure movement towards this, leads the emergency nurses to have more passion for their job, tolerating its hardships, and performing it appropriately in which case the patients also will find that their nurse is a reliable individual who is totally concerned with their well-being. Such an impression brings serenity to the patients, removing their anxiety, which will in turn facilitate and accelerate the recovery process, leading to the satisfaction of the patient, the nurse, and god. As said by Ayatollah Shahid Motahhari: Knowledge gives you the acceleration and faith the direction.
