Abstract

One of the consequences of the globalization for the modern health system is that medicine is losing its role of the »supreme« ruler over the processes of healing. The medical profession has to accept a more equal collaboration with other healing professions among modern health system, especially with the nursing. Nursing is focusing on the »ethic of caring« and thus presents an important alternative to the technical relationship to the patients, which is prevailing in the modern medicine. However, this quality could find its expression on condition that the nursing overcomes its traditional »assistant« role in medical treatment, and it actively intervenes in the space and market of medical services. Sure, such an activity requires many changes, from some more equal relationships between physician and nurses, changed self-image of the nurses to some more partner-like relationships between nurses and patients or the seekers of the health services.
