Nursing as a Sign of Hope and Contradiction in the Land of the Children of Abraham

Steven L. Baumann, RN; PhD

Hunter College, City University of New York, New York, sbaumann{at}hunter.cuny.edu

Israel, the Gaza Strip, and the West Bank share a small land area and the birthplace of three of the world's great monotheistic religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It is a land of paradoxes: ancient and modern, religious and secular. Nursing in this unique geographic and historical place struggles with many of the same issues and challenges facing nursing in other modern countries, but it also shines with dramatic episodes of nursing's ability to be a sign of hope and contradiction.

Key Words: Israel • nursing
