The Changing Role of the Nurse
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 January 2010
Extract
Today, the practice of nursing and the education of nurses are going through the most exciting period in modern times. Throughout a long and turbulent history, nursing has faced almost insurmountable difficulties. In the main, these have stemmed from an attempt to maintain stability while conducting innovation, and from an attempt to change while retaining the useful part of the old. But to their credit, nurses have attempted to keep pace with the needs made by a rapidly changing social structure. It is these present needs that now should force nursing into a new, enlarged, and more crucial role in the health professions.
