  1. Ordered to CareThe dilemma of American nursing 1850-1945by Susan M. Reverby Cam Still BEF 644 Fall 2013 The University of Alabama

  2. Introduction

  3. Ordered to Care discusses the development of nursing as a profession, ideology, efforts in reform,and work conditions. The author, Susan M. Reverby, felt that history created nursing from a society that refused to value caring. The book looks at how society has failed to provide an environment where the desire to care is important. This is where many of today’s nursing issues stem.

  4. Throughout history, nurses have fought many limitations brought on politically, socially and ideally to bring quality care to those in need.

  5. The necessary power to advance nursing as a profession has been a slow and tedious process. Nursing has also brought on some of its own problems by not always being the “familial and caring culture” history has portrayed.

  6. In the late 1800’s, it was necessary to nursing that special schooling and training was required. This was to be separate from medical training.

  7. The book is divided into three partsPart IThis section discusses nurses who had no formal training in the 1850’s to the time just before nursing schools were opened in 1870.

  8. Part IIDiscusses how nursing training developed and changed the model for schooling and the backgrounds of the women that attended.

  9. Part IIIExamines methods used for reforming nursing. Out of this, nursing as a profession was finding its place in the healthcare system.

  10. In Summary: The demographics that are studied in this book are white females from the area in and around Boston, Massachusetts from 1850-1945. It is important to note that the experiences of this group are used to represent all of American nursing at the time. It is the author’s hope that this book broadens the reader’s understanding of the beginnings of nursing and the history behind our present dilemmas.

  11. Doesn’t the hospital know I’m guaranteed privacy under the constitution!?
