A Vision for the Bush: the NSW Bush Nursing Association 1911-1974

Second-Hand

Excellent condition

Providing nursing care to rural areas is an aspect of nursing conjuring romantic images of heroic nurses prevailing in extreme conditions to provide nursing care to those in need.

Although noble in intent, implementation of nursing care to a vulnerable population generally arises from an identified need to improve the health of people within a specific area. Such is the founding of The NSW (New South Wales) Bush Nursing Association in Australia well described by R. Lynette Russell and Judith A. Cornell in A Vision for the Bush: The NSW Bush Nursing Association 1911-1974.

 Russell and Cornell employ a historiographic recounting of primary sources and archival documentation in their text, supplementing it with archival photos of nurses using various forms of transportation hearkening to other notable nursing images of Mary Breckenridge on horseback and New York City public health nurses climbing tenement roofs.
