Politics, Personalities, and Persistence
One Hundred Years of Psychiatric Nursing Education in Manitoba by Beverley Clare Williams Hicks
Politics, Personalities and Persistence, written by RPNF Director Dr. Beverley Hicks tells the story of the evolution of registered psychiatric nursing in the province of Manitoba. This comprehensive account traces the distinct profession’s transition from the asylums of Manitoba, where for seventy years psychiatric nurses had cared for the mentally ill when few others were interested in them, to the halls of academia in Brandon University in 1986, the first university in Canada to grant a baccalaureate degree to psychiatric nurses. Contact us at info@rpnf.ca to order. $32 without mailing cost / $45 with Canada Post. A portion of proceeds from the book will be donated to the RPNF Inc.
