Book excerpt: The close association between nurses and hospitals obscures the diversity and complexity of nursing work in other contexts. This collection looks at nurses and nursing in a wide range of settings from the mid-1800s to the 1970s, including indigenous women on the Canadian prairies; First World War nurses posted overseas; outpost nurses in rural and remote areas of Saskatchewan, Ontario, and Quebec; public health nurses in Winnipeg; and religious congregations in nursing education in New Brunswick. The contributors use feminist and historical perspectives to illustrate how place, understood as both social context and geographic setting, shaped nursing identities and practices. Many nurses found place both liberating and constraining - often simultaneously. Paying attention to place also situates these nurses and their work within larger historical themes of nation-building, war, and political change.

This book was released on 2015-11-01 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines 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. It makes an excellent and timely contribution to the growing discipline of nursing wartime work. In its exploration of multiple nursing roles during the wars, it considers the responsiveness of nursing work, as crisis scenarios gave rise to improvisation and the – sometimes quite dramatic – breaking of practice boundaries. The originality of the text lies not only in the breadth of wartime practices considered, but also the international scope of both the contributors and the nurses they consider. It will therefore appeal to academics and students in the history of nursing and war, nursing work and the history of medicine and war from across the globe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the first single comprehensive analysis of the scope of geographical realities and relevance in health care work. Conceptually, the book conveys how space, place and geographical ideas matter to clinical practice, from the historical beginnings of professional roles and responsibilities in medicine to the present day. In 8 chapters, the book covers healthcare work across a range of job types (including physician, nurse, and multiple technical and therapeutic roles in multiple specialties), and across a range of scales (focusing on global issues and trends, national and regional particularities, urban and rural issues, institutional environments and various community settings). This book is intended for students, teachers, and researchers in geography, social science and various health sciences. Chapter 1 examines how geographical ideas have been central to practitioners' thinking and practice over time. Chapter 2 reviews the scope of contemporary geographical study of health care work. Chapter 3 presents an empirical case study of the geographies in hospital-based ward work. Chapter 4 presents an empirical case study of the geographies in ambulance/rapid response work. Chapter 5 presents a case study of the geographies associated with a high profile case of criminality and neglect in practice. Chapter 6 considers concepts and the geographies in person-centred care. Chapter 7 considers concepts and the geographies in skills attainment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forging The Future is a new and decisive text in the debate on the history of nursing. Boldly adopting the perspective of Canadian nursing leaders over the decades, Diana Mansell offers critical insight into the historical character and current state of the nursing profession. Finally, here is an alternate view on a key question in the debate: has nursing always been subordinate to the medical profession? In this text, Diana Mansell has stepped back from the bedside and revealed how a select group of women - a close-knit elite, together occupied key leadership roles and used their influence to set in place the fundamental definition of nursing in Canada. A leading historian in her field, Dr. Mansell has captured key moments in Canadian history before time took the last of these women from the world. Poignantly punctuated with anecdotes from practicing nurses in every era, Forging The Future is a timely investigation into the overall development of nursing in Canada. In these pages, key research on the Canadian nursing leadership is made accessible for the first time, enabling us to now understand how one group of women transformed an undervalued vocation into an indispensable profession. Indeed, together they forged the future of nursing. Diana J. Mansell is CEO and President of Damsell Consulting and holds an adjunct appointment In the Faculty of Nursing with the University of Calgary. She is also Past-President of the Canadian Association for the History of Nursing.

Roberts Award for Exemplary Historical Research and Writing! The Routledge Handbook on the Global History of Nursing brings together leading scholars and scholarship to capture the state of the art and science of nursing history, as a generation of researchers turn to the history of nursing with new paradigms and methodological tools. Inviting readers to consider new understandings of the historical work and worth of nursing in a larger global context, this ground-breaking volume illuminates how research into the history of nursing moves us away from a reductionist focus on diseases and treatments and towards more inclusive ideas about the experiences of illnesses on individuals, families, communities, voluntary organizations, and states at the bedside and across the globe. An extended introduction by the editors provides an overview and analyzes the key themes involved in the transmission of ideas about the care of the sick. Organized into four parts, and addressing nursing around the globe, it covers: New directions in the history of nursing; New methodological approaches; The politics of nursing knowledge; Nursing and its relationship to social practice. Exploring themes of people, practice, politics and places, this cutting edge volume brings together the best of nursing history scholarship, and is a vital reference for all researchers in the field, and is also relevant to those studying on nursing history and health policy courses.

Book excerpt: Now in its second edition, Canadian Perspectives on Advanced Practice Nursing provides a comprehensive and uniquely Canadian review of the roles of clinical nurse specialists and nurse practitioners, the two streams of advanced practice nursing (APN) in the country. With contributions from notable professionals and academics of the field, the text explores the history and evolution of APN in Canada, from its rural and remote outpost beginnings to the present, and proposes a vision for its future within the health care system. Key issues are examined in relation to economic, educational, legislative, political, regulatory, and social environments that have shaped the continued integration of APN roles across the country. Additionally, the contributors apply the Canadian Nurses Association’s pan-Canadian framework and role competencies to real clinical cases. Speciality roles, including geropsychiatry, ambulatory care, and neonatal, are also examined. New to this edition are chapters that focus on the unique challenges of developing APN roles in Quebec; the social determinants of health of Indigenous, inner-city, rural and remote, LGBT2SQ, and refugee and migrant populations in Canada; and other critical issues, such as performance assessment and global perspectives. Thoroughly updated, this second edition of Canadian Perspectives on Advanced Practice Nursing is a must-read for those in the nursing profession, especially students in nursing programs.
