Nurses, the backbone of the U.S. healthcare workforce, play a pivotal role in patient care, spending more time with patients than any other member of the healthcare team. In her book, Dr. Nurse delves into the history of American healthcare to explore significant changes that have taken place in the second half of the twentieth century. The book uncovers how federal and state health and higher education policies shaped education within health professions after World War II.
Beginning in the 1950s, academic nurses embarked on a mission to establish nursing as an academic discipline, distinct from biomedical or behavioral sciences. Their tireless efforts transformed nursing labor into a valuable knowledge production site, demonstrating the critical role of nursing knowledge in improving patient outcomes. Dr. Nurse's book sheds light on the knowledge claims, strategies, and politics involved as academic nurses negotiated their roles and the future of nursing. It highlights how state-supported health centers have profoundly shaped nursing education and healthcare delivery.
Through her comprehensive analysis, Dr. Nurse provides a valuable insight into the historical development of nursing as an academic discipline and the significant contributions of nurses as valued researchers. Her book serves as a testament to the resilience and dedication of nurses in shaping the future of healthcare.
