Industry Reviews

"...a much needed book which gives a flavour of modern-day nursing set against the back-drop of the development of the profession over the last century." "...an interesting and thought provoking text which addresses many complex issues concerning the nursing profession, its development and the current policies and drivers behind nursing in the 21st Century. It provides an honest debate about political and policy driven trends in current healthcare and the freedoms and constraints these place on today's nurse." - Karen Thompson, Senior Lecturer, School of Nursing and Midwifery, University of Brighton, UK
