Nursing Its Hidden Agendas [Paperback]

Nursing: Its Hidden Agendas traces the origins of attitudes and behaviours, their historical, psycho-social and professional backgrounds, their cross-generational transmission and their cause and effect. These hidden agendas can seriously damage progress and change in the nursing profession and must be recognised and checked at all levels.
