The demand for nurses was great, but how might these workers best serve the country's needs? By examining living and working conditions, nurse-patient relations, education, and attempts at international nursing cooperation, Grant recounts the history of the Bolshevik effort to define the \"Soviet\" nurse and organize a new system of socialist care for the masses. Although the Bolsheviks aimed to transform healthcare along socialist lines, they ultimately failed as the struggle to train skilled medical workers became entangled in politics. \u003ci\u003eSoviet Nightingales\u003c\/i\u003e draws on rich archival research from Russia, the United States, and Britain to describe how ideology reinvented the role of the nurse and shaped the profession.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Grant\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501762591\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501762598\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Susan Grant","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44053061927167,"sku":"9781501762598","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_852f903f-a80a-4c20-b247-b8e0ca4923da.jpg?v=1685022182","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/soviet-nightingales-susan-grant-9781501762598","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
