Learning from the History of Nursing

Info

Sioban Nelson PhD

Dean and Professor - Lawrence S Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing

After starting the MN at the University of Toronto, I have had a few readings from Sioban about understanding the history of Nursing. These articles really helped my understanding of nursing. Being young in the profession this historical analysis helps to ground and better understand nursing. During this episode we talked about Dr Nelson's background and how she integrated her understanding of historical analysis into her academic work.

    Rob is an excellent and ambitious nurse entrepreneur. I have posted this site for my students to review in both my nursing informatics and nursing leadership classes, both undergraduate. Nursing is a global autonomous profession. Sites like this serve to provide quick and inspiring access to nurses who are changing nursing and health care around the globe. Thank you Rob! I have linked to your website from my blog.. Keep up the excellent work. I look forward to watching your website and work progress.

    Just loved the interview! what a breath of fresh air to stand back and take a look at the big picture !
    My grandmother started nursing in 1909, my mother in 1943 and I started PTS in 1969. so there are lots of family stories which resonate with Sioban's ideas. Nurses has always been heavily involved with what was happening and often using what political clout they had to bring about change.

    I have just finished reading Complexities of Care and it has energized my appreciation for this dynamic and wonderful profession! I highly recommend it to all nurses AND those who live with/love a nurse.
