Guide to Nursing's Social Policy Statement : Understanding the Profession from Social Contract to Social Covenant / Marsha Diane Mary Fowler

Nursing is often called a helping profession: Nursing's Social Policy Statement is about the many ways that nursing helps others. It is about the relationship-the social contract-between the nursing profession and society and their reciprocal expectations. This arrangement authorizes nurses as professionals to meet the needs involved in the care, and health of patients and clients and the health of society. It helps nurses engage in the political and legislative action that supports nursing education, research, and practice to better influence that health and care; and to understand the social ethics and justice that affect global and individual health. But what does that mean now?
