These interviews also give a voice to the working and middle-class women of the FNS. The emerging themes include moral inhabitability in work\/education environments, the generational mix, nurse-physician and male-female relationships at the workplace, the role of technology, humanitarian versus financial rewards, and the public image of nurses. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\nIn addition, the book examines how the FNS shifted froma community\/grass-roots structure to the corporate\/business model of healthcare delivery employed today. In closing, it stresses the importance of explorig past nursing in order to better grasp present nursing.
