How did skilled nursing practice develop to become an essential
part of the modern health system? This book provides some important
answers to this question. It traces the history and development of
nursing practice in Europe and North America, exploring two broad
categories of nursing work: the 'hands-on' clinical work of nurses
in hospitals and the work of nurses in public health, which
involved health screening, health education and public health
crisis management. The book contains rich case studies of nursing
practice across diverse settings in the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries. As well as examining 'what nurses did', it explores the
significance and meaning of nursing work, for nurses themselves,
their patients and their communities, and examines developments in
practice against a backdrop of social, cultural, political and
economic drivers and constraints. This book will be of interest to
academics and clinical nurses alike. It is also an ideal textbook
for undergraduate nursing programmes, providing students with rich
accounts of the history of their own disciplinary practice. -- .
