This important text draws on decades of research, arguing that modern nursing germinated and grew an ethics from its own native soil, which is rich, fulsome, and philosophically informed, grounded in the tradition and practice of nursing.
It is an ethics with a positive agenda for the good nurse, a good society, a healthy people, and human flourishing. This native nursing ethics was forgotten, creating space for a foreign bioethics? colonization of nursing in the second half of the twentieth century. Drawing from a wide range of sources from the USA, the UK, Canada, and Ireland, the book addresses the early and enduring ethical concerns, values, and ideals of nursing as a profession that engages in direct clinical practice and in developing policy. Fowler calls for reclaiming and renewing nursing?s ethical tradition.
This systematic and comprehensive book is an essential contribution for students and scholars of nursing ethics.
A thorough and fascinating account of the evolution of nursing ethics. Fowler interweaves real-life stories about the people who shaped the early foundation of the discipline, with her sharp-witted analysis of how their wisdom can inform today's nursing practice. This book provides an inspiring story of how nursing ethics emerged, distinct from bioethics, and why this matters in our quest to provide humane, compassionate care for those we serve.

Marsha Fowler?s treatise on the history of nursing ethics makes for a marvellous read. She guides her reader through an intricate and complex history of how nurses and those who write for and about them have wrestled with the ideas of fairness, equity, truth and virtue, critically reflecting on the history and evolution of thought from a perspective that is only accessible to a seasoned scholar with a wicked wit.
