Aimsigh é!
This text offers an in-depth history of the state body that transformed nursing in Ireland. Established in the midst of political upheaval, the Council set the standards for nursing education, practice, and regulation, ensuring that only fully trained professionals could claim the title of 'nurse'. This meticulously researched study explores the Council's impact on public health policy, its role in shaping the newly independent Irish Free State's healthcare system, and the challenges it faced-ranging from political interference to hospital autonomy. Drawing on new archival research, this book provides valuable insights into the evolution of nursing, the interplay between healthcare and state-building, and the social position of nurses in post-colonial Ireland.
