Article R4312-63 of the French Public Health Code

Nurses, whatever their status, are required to respect their professional duties and in particular their obligations concerning professional secrecy and the independence of their decisions.

Under no circumstances may nurses accept restrictions on their professional independence from their employer. Wherever they practise, they must always act first and foremost in the interests of public health, people and their safety.
