[The underpaid nursing profession: myth or reality].
The originality of this research lies in its object, nurses salaries, a subject that is often discussed amongst professionals, yet rarely broached in writing. The concepts of salaries and salaried workers are examined, then, through literature, a list of salary data from 1845 to 1945 is made. The study of nursing personnel salaries from 1945 to 2001 begins with a reconstruction of salary charts, continuing with an internal analysis of the private and semi-public sector, then alternatively with the teachers. This work provides objective information on the aspect of this profession's salaries and uncovers numerous questions on the origins of wage increases.
