| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this paper is to create a debate on
whether the name “nursing” has any influence on
how the nursing profession is perceived today by
other healthcare professionals and the general
public the nursing profession serves. A quantum
leap is being suggested by the authors, as only a
paradigm shift could change the world’s mindset
on nursing and its recognition as a profession.
A change in name is what the authors see as a
way of changing the unflattering perception of
nurses and enhancing its status to the level of
respectability of other healthcare professions. | en_US |
