I Wasn't Strong Like This When I Started Out: True Stories of Becoming a Nurse
Author: Lee Gutkind
Publisher: Underland Press
ISBN: 193716313X
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
This collection of true narratives reflects the dynamism and diversity of nurses, who provide the first vital line of patient care. Here, nurses remember their first "sticks," first births, and first deaths, and reflect on what gets them though long, demanding shifts, and keeps them in the profession. The stories reveal many voices from nurses at different stages of their careers: One nurse-in-training longs to be trusted with more "important" procedures, while another questions her ability to care for nursing home residents. An efficient young emergency room nurse finds his life and career irrevocably changed by a car accident. A nurse practitioner wonders whether she has violated professional boundaries in her care for a homeless man with AIDS, and a home care case manager is the sole attendee at a funeral for one of her patients. What connects these stories is the passion and strength of the writers, who struggle against burnout and bureaucracy to serve their patients with skill, empathy, and strength.

Anthroposophic Nursing Practice: Foundations and Indications for Everyday Caregiving
Author: Rolf Heine (Editor)
Publisher: Portal Books
ISBN: 9781938685286
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 624
Book Description
Anthroposophic nursing care goes beyond the communicative approach of soft skills. Nurses form a bridge between treatment of the body and treatment of the patient's soul and spirit by actively valuing the human body, paying attention to touch, using warmth, cold, air, and light to promote healing processes, and much more. Although physical wellbeing, autonomy, and youthfulness are central to our modern materialistic culture, our bodies actually receive little respect and appreciation, especially when they become ill and eventually old. Nursing values need to be rediscovered that respect the debased human being, embrace illness as a part of existence, and allow time for healing. A key aspect of this book involves the idea and practice of "nursing gestures," relating inner attitudes and practical nursing activities to one another in detail through numerous examples and overviews. Anthroposophic Nursing Practice shows not only the possibility, but also the practical experience of nursing care, which aims to be both holistic and optimistic. The knowledge and perspectives gathered in this book have matured through the work of several generations of anthroposophically oriented nurses, all striving to refine a truly integrative nursing practice. This unique book will no doubt become the classic text on the important practice of anthroposophic nursing. Contributors include Klaus Adams, Frances Bay, Gudrun Buchholz, Annegret Camps, Bernhard Deckers, Carola Edelmann, Sasha Gloor, Renate Hasselberg, Inge Heine, Rolf Heine, Christel Kaul, Monika Layer, Regula Markwalder, Heike Schaumann, Jana Schier, Ada van der Star, Christoph von Dach, Ursula von der Heide, Gabriele Weber, and Anna Wilde.
