12 Jun 2009 2:33 AM

Australians rate nurses as the most ethical and honest professionals .. but car salesmen .. newspaper journalists .. and advertising people are still on the nose.

The Roy Morgan Image of Professions survey found that 23 fields have fallen in the public's estimation .. the largest fall ever recorded.

But nurses have again topped the annual list .. with 89 per cent of those polled ranking them as the most honest and ethical.

Pharmacists came in second with 84 per cent support .. and doctors third with 82 per cent.

School teachers and dentists rounded out the top five.

Car salesmen were again voted least honest and ethical .. with only three per cent support .. close to those in advertising and newspaper journalists.
