Köp båda 2 för 597 krThe book is written by two journalists who have taken on the nursing profession more or less the way we take on patients with a life-threatening condition that is curable but requires both intensive and long-term care. The diagnosis, according to Buresh and Gordon, is silence. By being silent, we miss the opportunity to show ourselves as consequential in the delivery of healthcare. The remedy for silence, according to the authors, is voiceour voices raised in conversation first and foremost with our families, friends, and patients, and also with the general public. * Nursing Spectrum * This is an invaluable book for all nurses, especially those who are proud of being nurses and who have always wanted to make others understand our passion. * Nursing Standard *
