Description based on print version record.
Debbie Palmer compares the histories of psychiatric and voluntary hospital nurses' health from the rise of the professional nurse in 1880 to the advent of the National Health Service in 1948. In the process she reveals the ways national ideas about the organisation of nursing impacted on the lives of ordinary nurses. She explains why the management of nurses' health changed over time and between places and sets these changes within a wider context of social, political and economic history.
