Dan Chambliss, the Christian A. Johnson Excellence in Teaching Professor of Sociology, was quoted in a Woman's Day magazine article about the crisis in America's nursing profession. The article discusses the shortage of nurses nationwide, which leads to increased workload, stress and a high burnout rate. Chambliss' research interests include ethical problems in healthcare as they relate to nursing. His 1996 book, Beyond Caring: Hospitals, Nurses and the Social Organization of Ethics, won the Eliot Freidson Prize in 1998 for the best book in the preceding two years in medical sociology from the American Sociological Association.
