Our society is facing a national crisis in nursing.  Journalist Suzanne Gordon and historian Sioban Nelson discuss the critical role that nursing plays and has played in the development of the American health care system.  Focusing on the importance of nursing professionals in caring for sick and vulnerable patients, Gordon and Nelson identify how nurses can make their critical contributions understood while securing the necessary economic and social resources to deliver needed health care.
