\"\"Florence\u00a0Nightingale, Nursing, and Health Care Today<\/a><\/strong> \/ McDonald, Lynn.
\nThis tile examines Florence Nightingale who pioneered evidence-based health care, campaigned for hospital safety, promoted economic opportunities for women, and mentored two generations of nursing leaders. The author focuses on\u00a0Nightingale’s core nursing concepts: gender and women’s issues, education, health promotion, infection control, professional ethics, pediatrics, and palliative care, and how they have transcended time to influence professional nursing today.<\/p>\n

\"\"Histories of Nursing Practice<\/a> \/ Fealy, Gerard M., Christine E. Dietz, Suzanne Malchau.<\/strong>
\nThis title examines the\u00a0history\u00a0of\u00a0nursing\u00a0practice, particularly clinical work in Europe and North America within time, place and context, but demonstrates remarkable commonalities and continuities across geographical and temporal borders.<\/p>\n

This title examines the complex story of how the role of nurses has changed over time to adapt to new environments and needs, all the while retaining the key leadership and advocacy roles that have been inherent since the birth of the profession.<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>This title traces the\u00a0history\u00a0of rural\u00a0nursing\u00a0<\/strong>during the first half of the 20th century through nine case\u00a0histories and describes\u00a0nursing care for populations including adults, children, itinerant tenant farmers, and rural poor throughout the continental United States.

\n<\/strong>This title explores the work that nurses of many differing nations undertook during the Crimean War, the Boer War, the Spanish Civil War, both World Wars and the Korean War.\u00a0In its examination of multiple\u00a0nursing\u00a0roles during the wars, it considers the responsiveness of\u00a0nursing\u00a0work, as crisis scenarios gave rise to improvisation and the – sometimes quite dramatic – breaking of practice boundaries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
