Professionalism in Nursing: A Foundation for Practice creates excitement about a career in nursing for those who are just entering the profession and rekindles the flame for nurses returning to the academic setting. The book moves from nursing's roots to its future and areas of potential expansion. It gives clear insight into what a nurse is and what nurses do. The view of nursing as a profession is validated through documented, evidence-based outcomes.
