Nursing the Nation

Building the Nurse Labor Force

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

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.
