Readers--whether researchers or practitioners, foundation  or government officials, students, or simply lay people  interested in nursing--should use this volume to gain a  better understanding of the nursing profession and the  issues with which those in the field and related fields are  grappling. Major topics include: The history of nursing The  nursing profession Current issues and challenges, including  the nursing shortage, educating and training nurses,  utilizing advanced practice nurses to their fullest,  quality and cost, long-term care, community-based care,  gender and power, and new areas for nursing A vision for  the future The book begins with a comprehensive review of  the nursing field by Diana Mason, the Rudin Professor of  Nursing at the Hunter-Bellevue School of Nursing, City  University of New York, and former editor-in-chief of the  American Journal of Nursing.
