Download or read book Bringing It Home written by Tilda Shalof and published by McClelland & Stewart. This book was released on 2014-04-29 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ICU nurse and bestselling author Tilda Shalof learns what nursing beyond the hospital really means. For the 350,000 professional nurses in Canada and 3 million in the US; readers of Atul Gawande's award-winning books and The American Nurse by Carole Jones. In her latest book, ICU nurse Tilda Shalof leaves the hospital behind to accompany the nurses who work in homes, from mansions to shacks to the streets, all across the country. Working with the Victorian Order of Nurses, a Canadian not-for-profit organization that provides home and community care, Tilda meets a wide variety of nursing professionals who offer untraditional care, sometimes in unlikely settings. This book not only describes a personal journey, but it also brings to light new health care issues. North America is on the cusp of change as the needs of our aging population put pressure on our health care system; more people need care in their homes and community supports to stay well. Yet this book is not just about caring for our elderly; Tilda also discovers how nurses care for people with a home, living on the street, for teen parents, returning soldiers with PTSD, those with physical disabilities, sex trade workers, and complex pediatrics. Shalof tells her story with her usual engaging, conversational style, and with this book, she continues to enlighten, surprise, and entertain readers. A portion of the proceeds from this book benefit The Victorian Order of Nurses.

Download or read book Blackstone Gate written by Melissa A. Robitille and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2000-03 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brenna MacGregor likes her job at the Blackstone Museum in Edinburgh, Scotland. She likes her boss, Josiah Campbell, too - that is, until the old schemer shoves her through the Blackstone familys big secret; the Blackstone Gate! Tumbling through the Gate into 1760, Brenna lands in Lord Angus Blackstones bed, an alarming and distressing development for both of them. He finds this intrusive. He finds this annoying. He finds the Gate interfering in whether or not theres a woman in his life more than a little aggravating. Brenna, in turn, thinks that Angus is an incredibly hostile, insensitive, uncaring, sarcastic, and boorish fellow. Shes also just a little offended by the Blackstone familys expectation that because she came through the gate she must therefore be there to marry Angus, the current Earl. The fact that the Gate wont let her go back through to her own proper time doesnt make her very happy either. Determined as they are to dislike each other, they begin working together, looking through the Blackstone family records, searching for a way to get Brenna back home again. What they dont find is anything helpful. What they do find is a very mutual attraction. Troubles beset them on that front as well. Anguss first wife, now deceased, left him bitter, and wary of women. While Angus knows that Brenna didnt want to come through the Gate and upset his routine, or turn his lonely but safe world topsy-turvy, can he trust her with his two little daughters? Can he trust her with his own heart? Brennas childhood prepared her to refuse to trust herself or anyone else. Can she trust Angus to even be trustworthy? Can she trust herself to be a good wife to him? Can she trust herself to be a good mother to his daughters? If youve read Rev. Robitilles first novel In One Years Time, look here for answers, if you havent, the book stands alone beautifully.

Download or read book Change Intelligence written by Barbara A. Trautlein and published by Greenleaf Book Group. This book was released on 2013-05-14 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether you’re on the front line or in the executive suite, you can build your “Change Intelligence®”—and create results that matter at all levels of the organization. In today’s business world, everyone knows that we all face constant change, whether it’s the implementation of a new IT system, a reorganization, or a full merger or acquisition. We also know that the ability to handle such change makes the difference between success and failure—and has a direct effect on the bottom line. Because we understand this, twenty-first century executives, supervisors, and project managers have plenty of methodologies for managing change. Yet, somehow, our failure rate when we try to implement major organizational change is still shockingly high. In this innovative guide, Barbara Trautlein argues that our current approaches are inadequate when they are not used in tandem with a deep understanding of Change Intelligence®, or CQ®—the skill set that allows you to lead your team or company through vital transformations. You’ll explore how to lead change by engaging the Heart, enlightening the Head, and equipping the Hands, which when combined enable you to overcome resistance and achieve results. And once you learn your own Change Leader Style, you’ll go on to discover practical strategies for leveraging your strengths and shoring up your weak spots. ​Trautlein, a leading authority on change leadership, keeps the theory light and delves into insightful case studies drawn from her decades of experience working with hundreds of top organizations as well as from her research derived from the global Change Intelligence/CQ Assessment® database of thousands of change leaders around the world. Her example- and evidence-based approach will help you plainly see how you can start driving real transformation—not by adopting yet another new tool but by bolstering your own capacity for change leadership.

Download or read book A New Order of Things written by Cynthia Freund and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2022-08-15 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nursing practice changed dramatically in the mid-1960s as experiments across the country demonstrated the effectiveness of nurses' expanded diagnostic and decision-making authority. The result was a new breed of nurse, the nurse practitioner. In A New Order of Things, Freund takes readers through that evolution. Beginning with a demonstration project at the University of North Carolina, leading to the emergence of an innovative nurse practitioner training program, the siting of rural clinics with nurse practitioners as the primary providers of health services, a consortium of nurse practitioner training programs spanning the state, and ultimately to a movement: a new order of advanced nursing practice and primary care service delivery. A New Order of Things is unique in that it documents a history with contemporary relevance, a case study illustrating how a major innovation was strategically engineered toward adoption at the organizational, health system, and state levels. Using multiple sources of historical records and 36 hours of interviews with leaders of the N.C. nurse practitioner movement, Freund illustrates how change leaders formed alliances in a politically nuanced process, thought ahead and of the present moment simultaneously, were adept at recognizing subtle clues and nimble enough to take advantage of opportune moments. This story is N.C.'s story, but it is far more than that. It is a story for any health professional striving to make change in health services and move an innovative idea into widespread adoption.
