Publisher's Note
Discussion regarding health care in the United States usually centers around the doctors and insurance companies. This book deals with one group that is largely overlooked: nurses. As an example of white collar workforce, nurses are segmented by class. Amongst this group is a class-conscious working class, a status-conscious nursing management and a class- and status-conscious mid-level. This book focuses on nurses' positions in the labor process and their reaction to that labor process, their choice of collective strategy (trade unionism, professional unionism, or professionalization), and why they choose these roles.

Industry Reviews
The debate over health care reform has focused on high-paid physicians, hospital administrators, and insurance companies, but many layers of health care workers barely get by on their modest wages. The author (sociology, State U. of New York, Potsdam College) studies the occupation of nursing as a representative of the growing ranks of white collar service jobs whose workers are promised -- yet generally denied -- professional status and the social and economic rewards that come with it. By examining nurses' level of economic, political, and ideological control within the labor process, she finds that nurses, though commonly defined as a single profession, occupy several distinctly different class positions.
