Feedback:
The women's movement has influenced nurses, many of whom are women to be more assertive and independent. Today's nursing role is more collaborative, rather than nurses being subservient to physicians. Changes in nursing education are one of the most influential nursing trends. Because of limitations on payment for healthcare, higher levels of skill, and specialization, hospital stays are markedly shorter than they were 10 years ago. Clients in all healthcare facilities are more acutely ill than in years past and these influence nursing.
