“…Role differences between nurses and doctors mirrored the sexual division of labor within society, with women (nurses) tending to the emotional environment and men (physicians) making the ''important'' decisions (Oakley, 1984;Porter, 1995;Sweet & Norman, 1995). The social positioning of nursing, both within the healthcare arena and in relation to medicine, has implications for how the profession is perceived and experienced as a desirable career choice for the upcoming generation of professionals (Cohen, Palumbo, Rambur, & Mongeon, 2004;Miller & Cummings, 2009). …”

For almost half a century, research has identified that effective teamwork is essential in order to enhance care provision and health outcomes for patients. Although the value of teamwork is well-recognized in healthcare, the historically rooted dynamics of workplace relationships create a myriad of challenges to creating collaborative teams. Understanding the history of interpersonal dynamics between health professionals can provide direction for future interprofessional education and collaboration strategies. The aim of this paper is to provide a historical overview of the social positioning of nursing and medicine in the context of interprofessional collaboration. Few professions work as closely as nursing and medicine. Despite the well-recognized benefits of interprofessional collaboration, these two professions are often socially positioned in opposition to one another and depicted as adversarial. This analysis will seek to advance our understanding of the historical roots between these two professions and their relationships with and among each other in relation to career choice, early socialization and patient care delivery. An exploration of the historical social positioning of nursing and medicine can provide an enhanced understanding of the barriers to interprofessional collaboration and inform future successes in interprofessional education and practice among all health and social care professions.

“…Hoke found that 48% of 6th-, 7th-, and 8th-graders reported a greater interest in nursing after a video presentation about nursing careers. Cohen, Palumbo, Rambur, and Mongeon (2004) reported that by 8th or 9th grade, students should have academic and career goals identified based on ''skills, attitudes, and interests'' (p. 204). They warned that waiting until high school to establish these goals is too late.…”

The purpose of this literature review is to illustrate the importance of initiating nursing recruitment during the middle school years. Data sources included citations from the years 1989 to 2006. The study focused on middle school students 9 to 13 years of age in Grades 6 to 8. One survey compared middle school students' perceptions of an ideal career and a career in nursing. Other studies discussed interventions such as nursing camps, recruitment videos, presentations, and handouts. After the intervention, the studies found statistically significant increases in the desire of middle school students to consider or make nursing their career choice. One strategy for addressing future nursing shortages might be the implementation of recruitment efforts targeting middle school students.

“…Sektoren forbindes med hardt arbeid, lange arbeidsdager og kjedelige og rutinepregete arbeidsoppgaver. Unge reagerer også med negative følelser ved tanken på sykdom og død og kroppens avfallsprodukter (7)(8)(9)(10).…”
