Attempts by professional registered nurses and nursing educators to resist the deskilling of nursing have reinforced race and class segmentation within nursing, which suggests that resistance to deskilling may reinforce inequalities among women.
Abstract
Surveying job segmentation within nursing, this article analyzes attempts by professional registered nurses and nursing educators to resist the deskilling of nursing. In so doing, they have reinforced race and class segmentation within nursing. The article concludes with a discussion of class, race, and gender stratification and suggests that resistance to deskilling may reinforce inequalities among women.
