Several factors predispose nursing to being regarded as an oppressed profession. A majority of nurses are female; the role of the nurse is often seen as being under the direction of physician's orders; and the nature of nurses' clinical practice is seen as task driven. We propose that nursing can be liberated from this image of oppression by transforming nursing education to empower nurses to embrace the fullness of their practice of caring: Providing all human beings with dignity and valuing the care they provide as equally vital to the human condition as the focus on curing is to their physician counterparts. Paolo Freire's proposes an educational model in which the teacher embraces the authentic thinking required of students in order to fully grasp their role, respecting what each student brings with them and recognizing the value of that knowledge. Trust must be built at every level of health care, beginning with nurses and their educators engaging in relationships rooted in communication, connection, and the ability to engage in productive dialogue. Should students and educators in nursing programs embrace the words of Freire, a transformation can take place in the health-care system. Nurses and nursing students will no longer carry the weight of oppression with them into the workforce.
有几个因素使护理被视为一个受压迫的职业。大多数护士都是女性；护士的角色通常被认为是在医生的命令下进行的；而且护士的临床实践性质被视为任务驱动的。我们认为，通过改变护理教育，使护士能够接受护理实践的全部内容，可以使护理从这种受压迫的形象中解放出来：为所有人提供尊严，并重视他们提供的护理，就像关注治疗对医生同行一样重要。Paolo Freire 提出了一种教育模式，在这种模式中，教师接受学生真正的思考，以便充分掌握他们的角色，尊重每个学生带来的东西，并认识到这些知识的价值。必须在医疗保健的各个层面建立信任，从护士及其教育者开始，建立基于沟通、联系和进行富有成效的对话的关系。如果护理项目的学生和教育者接受 Freire 的话，医疗保健系统就可以发生转变。护士和护理学生将不再带着压迫的重担进入劳动力市场。
