Title: NURSING SISTER: A CARING TRADITION
Description: "Using first-hand as well as historical accounts, Peter Ardern examines this important role in nursing, from the religious sisterhoods of the nineteenth century and the martinets of the early twentieth century to the modern ward sister of today, who has now taken over many jobs that were previously those of junior doctors. The job satisfaction, respect for authority, camaraderie, teamwork, as well as the many restrictions and sacrifices associated with the job, are also explored, often with the help of amusing anecdotes."--BOOK JACKET.
