The role of the nursing administrator in collective bargaining.

There is little doubt that collective bargaining is here to stay in hospital nursing, and it adds a new dimension to the nursing administrator's area of responsibility. Careful planning and preparation for participation, trust and open communication, an attitude of acceptance, and a focus on the positive aspects of the negotiations will place the nursing administrator in an advantageous position in regard to collective bargaining in any practice setting.

Intern and resident organizations in the United States: 1934--1977.

Hospital house staff movements for collective bargaining have persisted for more than 35 years. The problems addressed seen equally persistent--inadequate pay, excessive hours, poor working conditions, and low standards of training and patient care. Interns and residents continue to face the organizational handicaps of transient membership, poor funding, and apathy, yet negotiated contracts indicate limited legal successes. Improved patient care conditions are less evident than improved house staff conditions.

Changing images of professionalism: the case of public health nurses.

A survey of 89 public health nurses in a California county explored factors that might account for the growing support of unions and subsequent militancy among nurses. As predicted, changes in the backgrounds of public health nurses have occurred over time: 1) older nurses are more likely to have graduated from a diploma program and to have parents of lower educational and occupational attainment than younger nurses; 2) older nurses are more likely to view nursing as a calling and less likely to desire representation in collective bargaining by the union or to believe striking professional; 3) older nurses and those from lower social class backgrounds were less likely to belong to the union and less likely to participate in a county-wide strike. Because age and parental background factors are independently related to our indicators of militancy--union membership and participation in a strike--the results are interpreted as a change in nurses' images of professionalism.
