Download or read book When Chicken Soup Isn t Enough written by Suzanne Gordon and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-15 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reassuring bromides of "chicken soup for the soul" provide little solace for nurses—and the people they serve—in real-life hospitals, nursing homes, schools of nursing, and other settings. In the minefield of modern health care, there are myriad obstacles to quality patient care—including work overload, inadequate funds for nursing education and research, and poor communication between and within the professions, to name only a few. The seventy RNs whose stories are collected here by the award-winning journalist Suzanne Gordon know that effective advocacy isn't easy. It takes nurses willing to stand up for themselves, their coworkers, their patients, and the public. When Chicken Soup Isn't Enough brings together compelling personal narratives from a wide range of nurses from across the globe. The assembled profiles in professional courage provide new insight into the daily challenges that RNs face in North America and abroad—and how they overcome them with skill, ingenuity, persistence, and individual and collective advocacy at work and in the community. In this collection, we meet RNs working at the bedside, providing home care, managing hospital departments, teaching and doing research, lobbying for quality patient care, and campaigning for health care reform. Their stories are funny, sad, deeply moving, inspiring, and always revealing of the different ways that nurses make their voices heard in the service of their profession. The risks and rewards, joys and sorrows, of nursing have rarely been captured in such vivid first-person accounts. Gordon and the authors of the essays contained in this book have much to say about the strengths and shortcomings of health care today—and the role that nurses play as irreplaceable agents of change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chicken Nurses Mr. Cleveland's articles, 'chicken Nurses, ' have given me more pleasure in reading than has any other article or book on poultry production that l have ever read. He has refreshed my memory and has brought back to me scenes and experiences that I had in my boyhood days when I first began breeding standard bred poultry. The ups and downs are the same the world over, but the man who will stick to it will prove a poultry success, as Mr. Cleveland well states. These articles, published in book form, would prove of um told value to old and new breeders alike. Mr. Cleveland's many years of experience as a leading poultry breeder and, judge and his several years as secretary and manager of the great Madison Square Garden, N, Y., Show place him as a foremost authority of this day whose advice can be followed with safety for progressive and successful poultry production. As we see it, the greater value of this book to the breed ers does not lie wholly in Mr. Cleveland's advice or in his telling how to incubate, brood, feed, mate, exhibit, etc., but in the greater worth of liberal, broad-minded lessons noted in every chapter and on every page. There are no inflatedideas, but only whole-hearted sentiments, plainly expressed and splendidly written that will surely benefit all who will read, study and follow them. We surely appreciate Mr. Cleveland and commend him for his excellent examples in aid to others, his efforts for improved breeding, and his worth in general to the standard-bred poultry industry.

Download or read book I Wasn t Strong Like This When I Started Out True Stories of Becoming a Nurse written by Lee Gutkind and published by Underland Press. This book was released on 2013-02-25 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of true narratives reflects the dynamism and diversity of nurses, who provide the first vital line of patient care. Here, nurses remember their first "sticks," first births, and first deaths, and reflect on what gets them though long, demanding shifts, and keeps them in the profession. The stories reveal many voices from nurses at different stages of their careers: One nurse-in-training longs to be trusted with more "important" procedures, while another questions her ability to care for nursing home residents. An efficient young emergency room nurse finds his life and career irrevocably changed by a car accident. A nurse practitioner wonders whether she has violated professional boundaries in her care for a homeless man with AIDS, and a home care case manager is the sole attendee at a funeral for one of her patients. What connects these stories is the passion and strength of the writers, who struggle against burnout and bureaucracy to serve their patients with skill, empathy, and strength.
