DESCRIPTION: The goal of this project is to analyze from a historical perspective how registered nurses organized their work and to examine the relationship between professional nurses' working conditions and the appearance of nurse shortages between1900-1965. The four specific aims of this project are to 1) identify the employment arrangements and working conditions of registered nurses in the first half of the 20lh century and trace their relationship to supply of and demand for nurse services, 2) examine methods used by nurses to organize and improve their working conditions, 3) explore how professional organizations and health policy planners addressed and sought solutions to nurse supply and demand issues, and 4) synthesize and analyze the social, economic, legal, cultural and technological factors which created a demand for nurse services yet failed to match that demand with an adequate supply of nurses. This project argues that pervasive structural problems existing within the nurse labor market led to differences between supply of and demand for nurses, that responses to nurse supply and demand problems by health care institutions and policy making organizations failed to address adequately nurse workforce issues, and that this failure resulted in the emergence of profound and lengthy nurse shortages. The resulting project will be a book which will include content which examines the growth, development and eventual demise of the private duty nurse labor market, the ways in which nurses formulated and arranged their working conditions, the emergence of staff nursing as the preferred method of staffing institutional nursing services, the role played by professional organizations and groups other than nursing and health care institutions in structuring the nurse workplace, and the specific conditions which led to periodic problems with nurse supply and distribution to patients. This analysis of the formation of the modern American nurse labor market will provide answers to the question: Why does the United States never seem to have enough nurses?

描述：该项目的目的是从历史角度分析注册护士如何组织工作，并研究专业护士的工作条件与1900- 1965年之间护士短缺的关系之间的关系。 The four specific aims of this project are to 1) identify the employment arrangements and working conditions of registered nurses in the first half of the 20lh century and trace their relationship to supply of and demand for nurse services, 2) examine methods used by nurses to organize and improve their working conditions, 3) explore how professional organizations and health policy planners addressed and sought solutions to nurse supply and demand issues, and 4) synthesize and analyze the social, economic, legal, cultural and technological产生了对护士服务需求的因素，但未能与足够的护士供应相匹配。该项目认为，护士劳动力市场中存在的普遍性结构性问题导致护士供应和需求之间的差异，这对护士的供应和需求问题的反应是医疗机构以及政策制定组织对护士劳动力问题的解决，并且这种失败导致了严重和漫长的护士短缺的出现。由此产生的项目将是一本书，其中包括内容，该书籍探讨了私人值班护士劳动力市场的增长，发展和最终消亡，护士对工作条件进行配方和安排工作条件的方式，员工护理的出现是为机构护理服务人员配备的首选方法，专业组织以及在为培养培训机构提供培训和培养工作方面的专业组织以及各个团体以外的专业组织以及培养机构的工作，以及在培养工作中的努力，以及在培养工作中的努力，以及在培养工作中的工作，并以培养工作，以使培养工作和培养机构的工作，以使培养工作以及培养培训机构的工作，以使培训和培养机构的工作量。对现代美国护士劳动力市场形成的这种分析将为这个问题提供答案：为什么美国似乎从来没有足够的护士？
