Book excerpt: New policies and legalities are regulating the production, distribution, practices, and organization of nursing according to supranational standards.Nursing in the European Unionis a two-volume set that demonstrates how the European Union (EU) has refashioned the nursing world throughout the Member States via its power in many other policy domains. Volume 1 focuses on the EU's impact on nursing education, regulation, and research endeavors, and suggests strategies to achieve desired objectives. Volume 2 focuses on real-life situations and problems EU nurses face: wages, stress, and dispute resolution. These two volumes are not just for people working in the health care industry, but could be seen as a historical and sociological study on the dynamics between international relations, state power, policy and working practices. In Nursing in the European Union, Sondra Z.Koff helps to fill a gap in the literature, given the dearth of comparative, cross-national, book-length studies of the nursing profession. By adopting a framework focused on an institution, policies, and politics, Koff addresses these topics from the perspective of multiple actors, both national and international.
