Chapter: Nursing and Nurses
Topic: The Image of Nursing : Introduction and Table of Contents
Introduction:
The current state
of, and effect of received image from all with whom a nurse interacts,
upon the self image of nurses and the general image of nursing as
a career receives much study in the literature. It is widely recognized
that image , recruitment, and retention are part of a self-feeding circle,
and that until the image of nursing changes, it will continue to
suffer the very things contributing to its poor image: ineffective voice,
alienation from the power structures influencing the environment in which
it occurs, absence of the economic benefits to which it is entitled,
and lack of prestige ... all of which demand reversal to break
the circle.
