Waltham, Massachusetts, December 10, 2006 -- Sagent Healthstaff, the nation's premiere travel nurse job staffing company since 2001, has declared its support for the Baltimore Sun editorial recommending a Nobel Prize in Nursing.
“Why is there not a Nobel prize for the Nurses, recognizing at least one “healing angel” on behalf of all the other countless healthcare providers, honoring them and recognizing their indisputable contribution to the world health and peace? ” asked Karin Laping, Marketing Manager for Sagent Healthstaff.
A Baltimore Sun op-ed penned by Columbia University nursing professor Kristine Gebbie (kmg24@columbia.edu) and Center for Nursing Advocacy executive director Sandy Summers (ssummers@nursingadvocacy.org) has raised the same excellent question:
If there is a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, why not also have one in Nursing?
After recalling the contributions of some truly exceptional nurses like Florence Nightingale (1820-1910), Mary Breckinridge (1881-1965), Susie Kim, and Elizabeth Ngugi, the authors make the following observations:
“Who cares whether nurses win international prizes? We all should. The world is struggling with the lethal effects of a nursing shortage, and the related migration of nurses away from the neediest countries - due in part to a lack of understanding of the nature and value of the profession. The recognition that comes with such prizes could greatly benefit the public's health by proclaiming to the world, from preschoolers to national leaders, that nursing is one of the most vital fields of human endeavor.”
Sagent's Laping added: “Given the fact that the existing Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine recognizes only the scientific research in medicine, we clearly need a new category to honor the indisputable contribution nurses make to our lives. The Nobel Prize in Nursing is an idea whose time has come.”
