Nursing the Nation: Building the Nurse Labor Force de Jean C. Whelan

Nursing the Nation: Building the Nurse Labor Force: Critical Issues in Health and Medicine

Autor Jean C. Whelan
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 feb 2021 – vârsta ani
Modern health care cannot exist without professional nurses. Throughout the twentieth century, there was seldom a sustained period when the supply of nurses was equal to demand. Nursing the Nation offers a historical analysis of the relationship between the development of nurse employment arrangements with patients and institutions and the appearance of nurse shortages from 1890 to 1950. The response to nursing supply and demand problems by health care institutions and policy-making organizations failed to address nurse workforce issues adequately, and this failure resulted in, at times, profound and lengthy nurse shortages. Nurses also lost the ability to control their own destiny within health care institutions while nevertheless establishing themselves as the most critical part of health care provision today.

Recenzii

"We have needed this superb historical analysis for a very long time. Jean Whelan, analyzing perennial nursing shortages, explains why the American health care system seems to always be in crisis. Whelan's elegantly written book intertwines the experiences of individual nurses with the institutions that supported, transformed, and undermined their work, and the sexism and racism that thwarted their efforts. With its focus on nurses as workers not just professionals, Nursing the Nation should be read and taught widely to explain the origins of contemporary dilemmas in American health care."

"This timely and important book fills a much needed gap in our understanding of how the modern nursing profession has developed. Whelan draws on extensive sources to demonstrate the ways that both race and gender have impacted the workforce and patient care. A must read."

"Filled with 'aha! moments,' Nursing the Nation provides an interesting lens through which to explore and illuminate the early days of the nursing profession. In an illuminating discussion, Whelan traces historical roots explaining our relationships to each other as nurses, our students, our physician colleagues and the hospitals in which many of us work."

Descriere

Nursing the Nation explores how nurses became employees of hospital and care agencies rather than independent, individual contractors.  It also demonstrates how nurses missed opportunities to control their own destinies in practice, but gained the ability to establish themselves as the most critical part of health care today.
