It critically analyses disquieting representations of nurses who don???t care, who kill, who inspire fear or who do not comply with laws and policies. Also addressed are stories about how power is used, as well as supernatural experiences in nursing. Using a series of examples taken from popular culture ranging from film, television and novels to memoirs and true crime podcasts, it interrogates the meaning of the shadow side of nursing and the underlying paradoxes that influence professional identity. Iconic nursing figures are still powerful today. Decades after they were first created, Ratched and Annie Wilkes continue to make readers and viewers shudder at the prospect of ever being ill. Modern storytelling modes are bringing to audiences the grim reality that some nurses are members of the working poor, like Cath Hardacre in Trust Me, and others can be dangerous con artists, like the nurse inDirty John. This book is important reading for all those interested in understanding the links between nursing's image and the profession's potential as an agent for change. 410 0$aRoutledge research in nursing and midwifery. 606 $aNursing$xSocial aspects 615 0$aNursing$xSocial aspects. 676 $a610.73 700 $aMcAllister$b Margaret$cRN,$01675603 702 $aBrien$b Donna Lee$f1959- 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910861083503321 996 $aParadoxes in nurses' identity, culture and image$94167045 997 $aUNINA
