This textbook draws on international contributors with a range of
backgrounds to explore, engage with and challenge readers in
understanding the many aspects and elements that inform and
influence contemporary nursing practice. With a focus to the
future, this book explores the challenges facing health services
and presents the arguments for a nursing contribution and influence
in ensuring safe and quality care. Readers are supported to explore
how, as individuals, they can shape their personal nursing identity
and practice. The structure of the text is based on the belief that
an individual nurse's professional identity is developed through an
interaction between their personal attributes and the influences of
the profession itself. Reflecting this approach, the authors engage
in a conversation with the reader rather than simply presenting a
series of facts and information. Organised around a series of
topical and pertinent questions and drawing on perspectives from
policy, education and practice, the book explores a diverse range
of topics such as: how historical and popular media representations
of nursing hold back nursing practice today; the opportunities
presented through education and nursing role development to
increase the nursing contribution to health services; the economic
and political influences on nursing and health care; how the
professional regulation of nurses and core values informs your
practice; ways to define and develop your own strong nursing
identity. Central chapter questions provide ideal triggers for
group discussions in class or online and equally as discussion
topics between colleagues to support ongoing professional
development. There is an emphasis throughout Nurses and Nursing on
challenging thinking to recast nursing practice for the future by
encouraging the reader to explore and create their emerging nursing
identity or re-examine previously long held views. This text
supports the reader to better understand health care, nursing and
most importantly themselves as nurses.
