- Nurses represent the largest segment of the US health care workforce and spend significantly more time with patients than any other member of the health care team. This lecture probes their history to examine major changes that have taken place in American health care in the second half of the twentieth century. It examines the work of academic nurses to construct a science of nursing—distinct from that of the related biomedical or behavioral sciences—that would provide the basis of nursing practice. Facing broad changes in patient care driven by the introduction of new medical innovations, academic nurses worked both to develop science-based nursing practice and to secure their roles within the post-war research university. By their efforts, academic nurses transformed nursing’s labor into a valuable site of knowledge production and demonstrated how application of this knowledge was integral to improving patient outcomes and healthcare delivery. This lecture explores the knowledge claims, strategies, and politics involved as academic nurses negotiated their roles and nursing’s future, revealing how state-supported academic health centers have profoundly shaped nursing education and health care delivery.
