Put some Concrete in your Breakfast: Tales from Contemporary Nursing

Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031243935
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
This book gives a sincere yet honest representation of modern nursing in all its forms rather than purely focusing only on the ‘good’ ‘the funny’ ‘the sad’ or the ‘ugly’. This book provides a collection of stories that concentrate on nursing, that validates, educates and encourages those undertaking a career in nursing. In addition, this book also celebrates the amazing rewards that the unique career of nursing has to offer, for those who can find a way to persevere through the challenges. There is a high rate of burnout among nurses in their early days of practice, because of the high demands placed on them by the healthcare system; hospital administrations; the expectations of management, patients, families and carers; and the sheer size of the patient loads with complex needs these days. The global pandemic erupting has now pushed a health care service that was already under pressure to now be in complete crisis. The world now knows that we need more nurses employed to be able to move forward from this calamity. This book closes that gap in that it encourages the readers to continue to pursue a career in nursing (despite the challenges that the profession holds) while also positively promoting the incredible work that nurses do. The chapters within this book, explore a cornucopia of different aspects of nursing including: caring for dying patients, dealing with bodily fluids and how patients are not very good at working out how sick they really are. The book also covers how to manage the care of patients with complex mental illnesses and those contemplating suicide. This book is targeted at nurses who may feel a little overwhelmed with the world that is nursing but who wish to thrive and further their career. Discussion questions at the end of the book further add to the reflection and learning process of the reader.

But God, He's my Husband
Author: Dishon Tracy
Publisher: Covenant Books, Inc.
ISBN: 168526123X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 110
Book Description
But, God, He's My Husband. Most believers and non-believers alike do not believe in the supernatural. They do not really believe that there are other forces that surround us every day. They do not believe that God or Satan can be responsible for marriage, divorce, friendship, companionship, job, murder, etc. Dishon Tracy came to know the existence of God and Satan in a real way. Though she was reared in church, all churches certainly do not have the same teachings, just as Jesus and the Pharisees teachings were not alike. Later, she was exposed to the power of the living God. She learned that when the Holy Spirit speaks, we better listen carefully and do what is required of us. In this book, you will learn what she did wrong and what she did right. You will get to know her in an Antichrist state and as a Christian. You will learn not to judge lest ye be judged. Come with her and find out what happens when you do not listen to the Holy Spirit. Some do not see tomorrow. However, in her case, she is here to testify the mercy of God's grace, even when we get off of His road of righteousness. These things I have spoken unto you that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. --John 16:33
