Abstract
This paper examines the similarities, differences and transnational linkages in key aspects of Czech and Canadian nursing. It explores the different circumstances under which different categories of nurses train, obtain licensing, provide patient care, secure their specific niche(s) in the health care division of labour, migrate, compete and/or cooperate with other health care workers, and negotiate their wages and workloads. The paper also reviews the ways in which universalistic concepts and practices such as ‘nurse’, ‘nursing education’, ‘caring work’ or ‘health care rationalisation’, travel and resonate in different geo-political contexts and internationally, and takes issue with some of the prevailing feminist approaches to caring. In its conclusion, the paper raises a series of questions about the future of nursing.
