Nurse, Author, Educator: A
special exhibit on the life of Jo Ann Ashley
 |
If we nurses do not consciously, actively, and
publicly oppose the brutality and the violence now evident in the health care system, the
face of that brutality and that violence becomes our own. We are historical beings
and the day will come when our actions and beliefs will be examined by future
generations. It is time we re-examine our values and the evils of social injustice,
especially to make sure we do not remain partners in doing harm to the weak, the
frightened, and the innocent who come to us for help.
-from lecture and dialogue session, "Nursing and the Need for Revolutionary Change in Health Care," co-sponsored by the Pennsylvania Nurses Association, The Pennsylvania League for Nursing, and Nurses NOW, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, March 11, 1976. |
