Article Abstract:

Nurses who are involved in political protests give an account of their actions and the reasons behind them. One nurse has been imprisoned for trying to prevent an aircraft from bombing civilians in East Timor, and found that the nursing profession disapproved of her actions. She found it difficult to get a nursing job because of her criminal record, but has no plans to give up campaigning for her beliefs. Another nurse has protested about her local water company's plan to cut off supplies to customers who cannot pay and another nurse campaigns on behalf of Friends of the Earth.
