Too familiar for words: considering unaccounted-for aspects of nurse's work

Article Abstract:

Some aspects of nurse's work are invisible to outsiders, including health care administrators, and therefore go uncompensated. Nurses report that assisting patients in working their way through the system is a big part of their job, but is largely unrecognized. This process includes patient education, patient advocation, mediation, and the more difficult-to-define extra steps that make the entire health care process work. Nurses describe this last concept as "making it happen."
