Book excerpt: In The Nurse's Reality Shift : Using History to Transform the Future, published by the Honor Society of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau International (STTI), Neal-Boylan, PhD, CRRN, APRN-BC, FNP, directly addresses the similarities between nursing issues in the past and today. Despite dramatic scientific and technological advances since the advent of professional nursing in the 19th century, a close analysis shows that modern nurses face many of the same challenges as earlier nurses, including excessive patient loads, staffing shortages, and poor working conditions. While analyzing the past and using modern survey techniques to give voice to current issues, The Nurse's Reality Shift sheds light on why nurses are where they are and, more importantly, how nurses can approach the future in a different way. This book asks the hard questions the nursing profession must answer to move past its recurring challenges and offers practical solutions and a road map for moving forward.
