Title: Perspectives in Nursing, 1987-1989 (Perspectives in Nursing)
Description: This book includes major presentations from the National League for Nursing's 18th biennial convention. "A revolution in the American way of health care is underway and it's likely to be as far-reaching as any economical and social upheaval we've known. The stakes are high. Who gets how much money out of one of America's top three industries? Who suffers how much pain and for how long? In short, who lives, who dies, who pays, and who decides? - Joseph A. Califano, Jr., on back cover. "We are at a time of change in our profession throughout the world, and the pressure of shortages will accelerate that change and make health policymakers likely to interfere in our affairs more than we might wish. To try to dilute that interference, we must be able to answer the questions the policymakers ask us, and the international environment will provide us with answers to those questions. We must all be aware of the extent to which our governments and the corporations that employ nurses work in the international environment, picking up ideas all of the time." - Trevor Clay, on back cover.
