Reviews
"The profession is undergoing radical changes, and this topic is very timely. Critical theory is important in itself, and the relation of its principles to nursing is well done by Street. Inside Nursing offers one of the most refreshing new insights into the nursing profession that I have seen in a long time. Its intellectual rigor is outstanding and should make it extremely palatable to most nurses.
"Thank you for the opportunity to review this exciting book. I hope to see it become required reading in graduate schools of nursing; I certainly will recommend it to the nurse educators I know. " -- June Hart Romeo, Kent State University and Cleveland Veterans Affairs Medical Center
