Bedside Matters traces four generations of Canadian nurses to explore changes in who became nurses, what work they performed, and how they organized to defend their occupational interests. Whether in the apprenticeship method of the early twentieth century or in the present day restructuring of hospital work, the position of nurses within the health-care system has been structured by class, gender, and ethnic and racial relations. Located between the doctors and untrained or subsidiary patient-care attendants, nurses have struggled to define the boundaries of their occupation vis à vis other members of the health-care hierarchy, even as tensions between bedside and administrative nurses created divisions within nursing itself.Focusing on the daily labours of 'ordinary nurses', McPherson argues that the persisting sex-typing of nursing as women's work has meant that gender consistently complicated nursing's easy categorization as either professional or proletariat. Combining archival records and oral histories, the author shows how nurses, in their work, activities, and social and sexual attitudes, sought recognition as skilled workers in the health-care system.Previously published by Oxford University Press 410 0$aCanadian social history series. 606 $aNurses$zCanada$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aNursing$zCanada$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aCanada$2fast 608 $aHistory. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aNurses$xHistory 615 0$aNursing$xHistory 676 $a610.73/0971 700 $aMcPherson$b Kathryn M.$01528983 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787500003321 996 $aBedside matters$93772986 997 $aUNINA
