 hall's Vision of Nursing
• Hall’s observations of hospital care at the time led her to articulate her
beliefs about the value of professional nursing to the patient.

• She observed that care was fragmented; patients often felt

depersonalized; and patients, physicians, and nurses were voicing
concern about the lack and/or poor quality of nursing care.

• Hall was convinced that patient outcomes are improved when direct care
is provided by the professional nurse.
