Pages : 320
Book Description
When wealthy Cleveland businessman David Feighan is admitted to St. Luke's Behavioral Health Unit in a catatonic state, he "miraculously" recovers in the presence of Nurse Joshua Ramsey. David insists his wife, lawyer, and the hospital administrator are plotting to have him permanently committed and implores Joshua to help him. Are these the ravings of an insane man or is something more sinister at work? Then David's wife and lawyer are found dead and Detective Nicholas Silvano gets the case. The husband is usually the first suspect but David has a solid alibi - he's locked up at St. Luke's. The investigation stalls...until a crayon drawing leads Nick back to St. Luke's and a surprising new suspect. "Fans of dark crime fiction will appreciate the unusual psychological twists in this mystery set in a mental ward. Bort and Madsen ground the world of the book solidly in the maddening bureaucracy of a big city hospital, leading the reader to believe if you weren't crazy when you checked in, you will be before long. I look forward to reading more from this innovative crime writing team." --W. Bruce Cameron, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Midnight Plan of the Repo Man "Ex-cop and former psych ward nurse Karl Bort teams up for a second time with professional writer Thekla Madsen in a gripping tale of psychosis and murder set in Bort's hometown of Cleveland, Ohio. Fans of the team's first novel, Bad JuJu in Cleveland, won't be disappointed by Angry Nurse." --Dave Wood, Past Vice President, National Book Critic Circle "Angry Nurse is a suspenseful read all the way to the satisfying end." --Barbara Schlichting, author of The First Ladies Mystery Series

The Nurses
Author: Alexandra Robbins
Publisher: Workman Publishing
ISBN: 0761189254
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
A New York Times bestseller. “A funny, intimate, and often jaw-dropping account of life behind the scenes.”—People Nurses is the compelling story of the year in the life of four nurses, and the drama, unsung heroism, and unique sisterhood of nursing—one of the world’s most important professions (nurses save lives every day), and one of the world’s most dangerous, filled with violence, trauma, and PTSD. In following four nurses, Alexandra Robbins creates sympathetic characters while diving deep into their world of controlled chaos. It’s a world of hazing—“nurses eat their young.” Sex—not exactly like on TV, but surprising just the same. Drug abuse—disproportionately a problem among the best and the brightest, and a constant temptation. And bullying—by peers, by patients, by hospital bureaucrats, and especially by doctors, an epidemic described as lurking in the “shadowy, dark corners of our profession.” The result is a page-turning, shocking look at our health-care system.

My Own Dear Brother

ISBN: 1632865351
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 465
Book Description
An unforgettable, nightmarish coming-of-age story set in rural Austria towards the end of World War II. It is 1944, and war has taken the men in Nazi-controlled Austria to the front line. For thirteen-year-old Ursula Hildesheim, life in the village of Felddorf remains almost as it was: bullied by her schoolmates, enlisted in endless chores by her mother and sister, thieving, and running wild with her adored older brother, Anton. But then Russian prisoners escape from the local concentration camp, her mother starts an affair with a married man, her only friend goes missing, and her brother's allegiance to the Hitler Youth emerges in shocking ways--and Ursula finds herself alone, disturbed by dark memories, and surrounded by threat. In this new world of conflict, Ursula discovers a bravery she has never known before and is forced to recognize that danger comes not only from the enemy at the door but from the enemy within. My Own Dear Brother is a remarkable coming-of-age story and an unflinching study of both cruelty and courage. Rich in folklore, it introduces a daring young heroine and a powerful new literary voice.

Psychiatric Nursing Skills
Author: Graham Dexter
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1489930094
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
In this book we have attempted to identify skills which are needed by the psychiatric nurse, and in doing so to identify a body of knowledge unique to the professional psychiatric nurse. The book has been written to demonstrate the basis of a skills approach for both the experienced and the inexperienced nurse to build upon, for we believe that psychiatric nurses, due to both their training and their particular mixture of interests, are weil equipped to be in the forefront of psychiatry as a developing art and science. We hope that this book in some small way helps this development. Some of the more recent advances in psychiatric nursing have been rein forced by the publication of a training syllabus for mental nurses (English and Welsh National Boards, 1982). This document highlights the need for a change from a medical model to a social model and from a task-oriented leaming experience to a skills approach. We have attempted to reflect this change in emphasis by including such aspects as personal development and self-aware ness, human sexuality, the nursing process and counselling skills.
