Allies: Call and Response

While the nursing project has been strongly opposed by medical leaders, validating its organisational role has been a crucial move in nursing’s attempt to become a freer occupation. This achievement owes its success to a number of forces and alliances. This reform scenario has opened up organisations to analyse more carefully the rare climate that is the political history of nursing.

The State’s distant relation with nursing has turned into a tacit pact of cooperation greatly rewarding for the latter as the State’s support enables a greater level of validation and leads increasingly to legitimacy within the societal structure. This greater level of legitimacy and validation will in turn lead to definitive rights within the structure. Of State entities with importance for the nursing’s political endeavour, two have been decisive in the current scenario: the Ministry of Health and the Legislative Body, one wanting administrative expertise and the other granting authority and privileges in return.We have reached a number of landmarks in such a short time. First, making our management of care official by law and as a responsibility exclusive of nurses. Then an agreement with the government on implementing high posts for nursing offices in every hospital as a requirement for accreditation. And now this new law regulating nurse education. Yes, we have done many important things. Junior nurse.
