The Nursing Profession
Chapter
Abstract
Although nurses talk a great deal about roles and about the tasks and activities relevant to these roles, there is no concensus about the central idea that binds all these roles and activities together. Yet, what else but a central, underlying theme could give our roles, tasks and activities their reasons for existence? What else could support our defense of them as being at the core of our work?
