At a time when nursing is often undervalued and nurses themselves in short supply, Life Support provides a vivid, engaging, and intimate portrait of health care's largest profession and the important role it plays in patients' lives. Life Support is essential reading for working nurses, nursing students, and anyone considering a career in nursing as well as for physicians and health policy makers seeking a better understanding of what nurses do and why we need them. For the Cornell edition of this landmark work, Gordon has written a new introduction that describes the current nursing crisis and its impact on bedside nurses like those she profiled in the book. 410 0$aCulture and politics of health care work. 606 $aNurses$xSocial conditions 606 $aNursing 615 0$aNurses$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aNursing. 676 $a610.73 700 $aGordon$b Suzanne$f1945-$01030710 701 $aFagin$b Claire M$01465416 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785515103321 996 $aLife support$93737478 997 $aUNINA
