Just a Nurse: From Clinic to Hospital Ward, Battleground to Cancer Unit-The Hearts and Minds of Nurses Today
Kraegel, Janet M.; Kachoyeanos, Mary
New York, New York, U.S.A.: E P Dutton, 1989. Very-good, clean copy of this 1989 ex-libris hardback. Usual library markings. Inner pages are free from writing and tears. 304 pages. Tight spine - Bright pages. - From The Critics Publishers Weekly The nursing profession is in a state of crisis as nurses, underpaid, undervalued and overworked, the authors attest, are leaving the field in alarming numbers. In this anthology of stories told from their personal experiences, the voices of nursing professionals are heard. From every sector--burn units, cancer wards, intensive care units, hospices, in prisons and in the military--nurses, male and female, speak of the great rewards as well as the tremendous burdens of their roles. The practicing nurses throughout the country who are interviewed here include midwives, anesthetists and faith healers. We hear from those who remain idealists, those who are burnt out, those who question their transient relationships with patients. The insiders' views here give a human dimension to nursing, dispel some of its mythology and stereotyping, and open appealing vistas for those considering nursing as a career. First serial to Ladies Home Journal and R.N. magazine. (May) Library Journal The notion that nursing is a low rung in the medical profession's ladder is sensitively explored and dispelled by this contemporary collection of interviews. Whereas physicians provide medical treatment, nurses provide medical care. The inability to ensure proper care through effective coordination of treatment and medical services causes burnout for some and fuels activism in others. Interviews are varied: Hospital, hospice, prison, and army nurses, nursing entrepreneurs, rolfers, midwives, and dropouts offer their experiences. This book complements Making Choices, Taking Chances: Nurse Leaders Tell Their Stories , edited by Thelma Schorr and Anne Zimmerman (Mosby, 1988).-- Mary Hemmings, Health Science Lib., McGill Univ., Montreal School Library Journal YA-- Students considering medical careers will be interested in the personal accounts of 46 nurses who care for patients in different sites, including the military, prison, psychiatric wards, and hospices. Although the male and female nurses frankly discuss the very real problems of low pay, understaffing, and burnout, they also emphasize that it is nurses, not doctors, who are trained to provide total patient care and even act as patient advocates. Besides providing a look at many facets of the profession, Kraegel raises the issue of reduced health services due to the nursing shortage.-- Alice Conlon, University of Houston Booknews Subtitled, From clinic to hospital ward, battleground to cancer unit--the hearts and minds of nurses today.
