Philosophy in the Nurse’s World:
Politics of Nursing Practice
May 16-18, 2010
Banff Centre (www.banffcentre.ca)
Banff, Alberta, Canada
Our concerns and questions relate to the social, political and economic contexts and conditions currently organizing nursing practice. We have organized the conference with the hope that through philosophical discussion we can develop greater understanding of that which underlies the current politics of nursing practice and how these might be addressed.
