Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to elucidate
contributing factors to the disunity in nursing,
and argue that if united nursing would be able to
achieve harmony, respect, and, above all,
recognition. Social and historical identities
imperil nurses, make them defenseless, and cause
disunity. The relation between nursing and effects
of gender discourses in power struggles is also
accentuated. The paper concludes by advancing
solutions to the disunity and argues that if
measures are not taken urgently, unity in nursing
will remain intangible and a legacy of disunity
passes to the incoming generation.
