Download or read book Nurse Jack written by Jack S Houston and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-06 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through these true stories, I wanted to tell a reality that is not often told, or realized by the general public. Nursing is a very demanding job, no matter what field you work in. Most nurses are hard-working, conscientious, and display empathy when most people would not be able to. Sadly, some nurses are not up to the task, I must admit, which often results in negligence. Often people - our patients - suffer because of this. This book tells several true stories about nurses and doctors alike who have sex with their patients, and each other. Also, it talks about rape, and how hospital staff have covered it up. I have written about drug and alcohol abuse on the job. Even cases where nurses deprived their own patients of narcotics, or pain killers, only to ingest them themselves, and give their patients a placebo. Some stories outline how nursing staff are so very often injured and knowingly placed in danger. Often both the doctor and management could have easily intervened to help avoid these incidents. Sadly, I talk about the many child molesters and rapists who are let out to roam the streets, against the nursing staff's wishes. These same patients reoffend regularly. The general public should know what really goes on as there are many horrible things that happen due to negligence or greed. It is important to make note of these realities. The majority of staff I have worked with have impressed me on countless occasions with their empathy, dedication, and self-sacrifice to help their patients. Like most things in life, it only takes a few bad apples to spoil everything. "If you're a fan of ER or Grey's Anatomy, you'll want to read this book."

Download or read book Professional Learning In Nursing written by Jenny Spouse and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The way nurses are taught is constantly evolving and changing. Workplace learning is seen as key to developing practitioners. In this book Jenny Spouse discusses how students learn in a range of different clinical settings and how best to facilitate this process. How do students learn to become nurses? What knowledge and understanding do they need to acquire? How do their preconceptions, beliefs about the learning process, and social needs affect their development? What do they find helpful and unhelpful? What makes clinical settings good for learning? Is it helpful for students to document their learning? What are the best ways for lecturer/ practitioners to facilitate student learning and what other factors influence their progress? The book explores how professional development can be better understood, following the progress of six nurse learners drawn from different parts of nursing and investigating both those difficulties faced by all students and those issues unique to particular students. It places these narratives in the context of nurse education today, exploring the implications of 'Fitness for practice' and 'Making a difference', and looking at the implications for the future development, organisation and funding of nurse education.

Download or read book Call the Nurse written by Mary J. MacLeod and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-04-04 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tired of the pace and noise of life near London and longing for a better place to raise their young children, Mary J. MacLeod and her husband encountered their dream while vacationing on a remote island in the Scottish Hebrides. Enthralled by its windswept beauty, they soon were the proud owners of a near-derelict croft house—a farmer’s stone cottage—on “a small acre” of land. Mary assumed duties as the island’s district nurse. Call the Nurse is her account of the enchanted years she and her family spent there, coming to know its folk as both patients and friends. In anecdotes that are by turns funny, sad, moving, and tragic, she recalls them all, the crofters and their laird, the boatmen and tradesmen, young lovers and forbidding churchmen. Against the old-fashioned island culture and the grandeur of mountain and sea unfold indelible stories: a young woman carried through snow for airlift to the hospital; a rescue by boat; the marriage of a gentle giant and the island beauty; a ghostly encounter; the shocking discovery of a woman in chains; the flames of a heather fire at night; an unexploded bomb from World War II; and the joyful, tipsy celebration of a ceilidh. Gaelic fortitude meets a nurse’s compassion in these wonderful true stories from rural Scotland.

Download or read book Life s Reflections written by Delores J. Garland and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2008-06 with total page 557 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thousands of books have been written about World War II. Most have dealt with the War's historical aspects, strategies, or the heroism and outstanding acts of the men who did the fighting. "1945" is not about heroes. In fact, it is not about "men"; its primary characters are "boys." By 1944, every man in his twenties or thirties had already been conscripted. Subsequently, almost all draftees at this stage of the war were eighteen years of age. To put this in perspective; in today's world they would not be considered sufficiently mature to buy a can of beer or pack of cigarettes. No parent likes to see his son go to war but these were children. In January 1945, everyone knew the war didn't have long to go and just as tension mounts towards the end of a race, anxiety and impatience became people's primary reactions to the news each day. Readers of this book will gain insight of the heretofore little told and appreciated emotions of the men in the Armed Forces and their families at home: hope, fear and prayers that it all would end before something tragic happened to a loved one who had been lucky enough to survive to this point.

Had those words been spoken by anyone other than Jack, Christine Sanford would've written it off as a bad joke and would've never allowed them to affect her so dramatically. He was her first love and truth be told her only love. But he had proven himself untrustworthy when she discovered that he had cheated on her. Regardless of his claims of innocence, she couldn't bring herself to trust him again. He meant what he said. Jack Jordan could never have foreseen falling in love with his childhood friend Christine. But even less could he imagine that they would break up two years later when evidence of his infidelity was brought to light despite the fact that he never cheated on her. Jack is forced to defend his name and love against the clever Troy Nolan, whom he is convinced is behind the deceit. But the deception runs much deeper than Troy, and Jack must unveil the truth in the midst of the lies that surround them.
