The Role of The Nurse

The Role of The Nurse

Cliff Evans and Emma Tippins


This introductory chapter includes a reflective account of nursing education and practice written by Penny Russell, a friend and colleague, who during her 40-year nursing career has lived through and partaken in many of the changes that have resulted in the modern nurse. Penny discusses how many external and internal influences have heralded dramatic transformation in both nursing education and the very act of nursing, thereby revolutionising modern healthcare delivery. This section provides the reader with insight into why a theory/practice divide exists and how, throughout recent times, many have tried to
bridge this divide.
