Document Summary

Nursing today issues of sexism, managerial ideology, hospital organization, and cutbacks: Doctors have usually been men and nurses have usually been women. Both historically and today, nursing refers both to a mother"s action in suckling or breastfeeding her baby and to the act of caring for the sick. Since the earliest nurses were nuns, nurses have long been called sisters. The few men who train or are educated to e nurses usually end up moving up the administrative ladder. This sexism in ideology is reflected in differences in pay, authority, responsibility, prestige and working conditions between men and women. Physicians have the advantage over nurses in all of these respects. Most nurses work shifts but the working conditions are problematic. Managerial ideology assumes that it is the job of managers to run organizations as efficiently as possible so as to provide adequate service at minimal cost.
