Nurses are positioned on healthcares front line, intimately connected to individuals, families, and communities. How can they leverage this position to work for the common good?In Toward a Better World, Mark Lazenby, a philosopher and a nurse, presents a plan of action. He argues that nurses advance the good society when they fulfill fundamental obligations. Promoting equality, peace and respect, providing assistance and safety, and safeguarding the health of our planet are among these obligations. By acting upon them, nurses become a force for social change in their communities. But through the collective power of more than 20 million nursesworldwide, nurses become a global force for making the world a better place-in the present and for the future.A companion to Caring Matters Most, Lazenbys ethics book, Toward a Better World challenges readers to lead good lives of service to others. This book will invigorate all, nurses and non-nurses alike, who wish to spend their lives making the world a better place.
