Images Of Nurses And Nursing
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Considered an extension of a woman's natural ability to nurture and tend to others, the image of nurses and nursing as a profession historically fell into the more traditional female role where the majority of women went unpaid for their services. It was a clear presumption that women's contributions -- no matter how physically or mentally trying -- did not carry anywhere near the same weight as those by their male counterparts. Nursing had long been considered on the outskirts of the medical community in that they were a necessary entity as a means by which the infirmed could recuperate; however, the efforts made by nurses worldwide went virtually unnoticed, while male doctors received all the accolades. As time went on, the nurses role became significantly more integral with regard to duty recognition, yet this acknowledgement was not to preclude the overwhelming psychological stresses that are associated with the industry's image. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
