The book reveals how federal and state health and higher education policies shaped education within health professions after World War II. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Starting in the 1950s, academic nurses sought to construct a science of nursing--distinct from that of the related biomedical or behavioral sciences--that would provide the basis for nursing practice. Their efforts transformed nursing's labor into a valuable site of knowledge production and proved how the application of their knowledge was integral to improving patient outcomes. Exploring the knowledge claims, strategies, and politics involved as academic nurses negotiated their roles and nursing's future, \u003ci\u003eDr. Nurse\u003c\/i\u003e highlights how state-supported health centers have profoundly shaped nursing education and health care delivery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dominique A.
