An Introduction to the Ethos of Nursing - 4th ed.

Since it first appeared in 1985, An Introduction to the Ethos of Nursing has been the most widely used textbook on the topic for basic nursing students. The 4th Edition is the most extensively revised edition to date - reflecting the wide-ranging changes in society, healthcare and nursing in recent years. In order to guide students towards applying a worthy ethos in their future nursing practice, the content is now presented in four sections that flow logically from one to the next. Section I - Being human: This section focuses on every person as an individual human being with a moral nature and moral values. Section II - Being a nurse: This section focuses on the nurse as a person, including the nurse's worldview, philosophy and theories in nursing, as well as the factors that shape being a nurse and doing nursing. Section III - Being part of a profession: This section looks at the establishment of the nursing profession, the development of midwifery, psychiatric and community health nursing, nursing education's contribution to the nursing profession, and organising and regulating the nursing profession. Section IV - Nursing in Modern Society: This section focuses on the legal framework for nursing practice, national and international directives which affect nursing, and nursing in the global village.
