| Abstract: | Nurses are increasingly being urged to become more politically aware and active. The relationships between political awareness, political activity and professionalism are explored, and it is argued that until nurses recognise and utilise the power engendered by their special and unique expertise they will not achieve professional development. It is particularly crucial that this fact is recognised by nurse educators and that political awareness is accepted as a legitimate curricular goal of nurse training. |
