This book is a celebration of the diversity in nursing practice in Australia today, so far removed from the Nightingale style of nursing Lucy Osburn and five English nurses brought with them to New South Wales in 1868. Twelve chapters are written by nurses who are experts in their field of nursing. They are nurses who have walked hospital corridors as well as fulfilling roles of senior policy makers, nurse leaders and practitioners, military nurses, nurse trailblazers and nurse academics.
Each chapter demonstrates that the professional nurse of today is educated and can fulfill wide-ranging professional roles.
