"This article extends an understanding of how the embodied nature of work, in this case nursing work, is reformed by workplace technologies. It outlines how technological advancements helped to partially restore the physical and psychological perforations inflicted on those performing nursing work. However, the transitions to remote nursing analysed here also undermined the prospects for future professional advancement. By analysing how technologies can disrupt embodied practices within the occupational field of nursing, the article provides both an empirical and a theoretical contribution to existing research on embodiment and work.
