ISBN-10: 0813545021 ISBN-13: 978-0813545028 270 pages Before the 1960s, nurses performed the routine patient care duties in the shadow of doctors. With the rise of the nurse practitioner movement in the 1960s, the cultural authority of clinical practice changed. What began as an opportunity for nurses to become educated partners for overloaded physicians or to expand their role in the clinic evolved as a powerful grassroots force to challenge the basic tenets of medical dominance.
