In recent years, the human values at the heart of the nursing
profession seem to have become side-lined by an increased focus on
managerialist approaches to health care provision. Nursing's values
are in danger of becoming marginalised further precisely because
that which nursing does best - providing care and helping
individuals through the human trauma of illness - is difficult to
measure, and therefore plays little, if any, part in official
accounts of outcome measures. Derek Sellman sets out the case for
re-establishing the primacy of the virtues that underpin the
practice of nursing in order to address the question: what makes a
good nurse? He provides those in the caring professions with both a
rationale and a practical understanding of the importance that
particular character traits, including justice, courage, honesty,
trustworthiness and open-mindedness, play in the practice of
nursing, and explains why and how nurses should strive to cultivate
these virtues, as well as the implications of this for practice.
This original and thought-provoking book will be essential reading
for nurses and nursing students, care workers, care commissioners,
and many others who work in the caring professions.
