| Summary: | Offers a sweeping cultural history of nursing from the Stone Age to the present, paying homage to the profession and making an urgent call for change. DiGregorio chronicles the lives of nurses past and tells the stories of those today, caregivers at the vital intersection of health care and community who are actively changing the world, often invisibly. A work that combines storytelling with nuanced reporting, this volume examines how we have always tried to care for each other, the incredible ways we have succeeded and the ways in which we have failed. |
