Contexts of Nursing is a multi-purpose book: it examines the Western History of Nursing; it looks at the current and future place of Nursing in the health system; and it examines the internal and external culture of Nursing as an organised group and as a profession. It is a very interesting read.
One area I found interesting: since 2010 I have acted as an unpaid carer of ageing relatives for long periods. Besides my housekeeping and financial duties of care and advocacy, I had to perform duties long associated with nursing. This is one method that the government is using to save money on the care of the aged as we live longer: getting family members to perform unpaid carer duties. There comes a point where carers need to let the professionals step in and take over: after reading this book, and if I had my time again, I'd probably let properly trained and paid nurses take over sooner.
