Nightingale Tales
Author: Lynn Dow
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1631522779
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 203
Book Description
In the 1950s, nurses served as handmaidens to the physician; by the start of the new millennium, they had become admired independent practitioners. Nightingale Tales is a peek into that transition, as told by a nurse who lived it. Each chapter is a stand-alone story depicting the ridiculous mores nurses have been subjected to over the years, the archaic equipment they’ve had to struggle with, and the changes in the profession, brought about by time, the feminist movement, and advances in technology. Told with humor and compassion, the stories of Nightingale Tales provides an unusual—and highly entertaining—window into the world of medicine from the mid-twentieth century to the present.

Pages : 288
Book Description
Moving, honest and inspiring – this is a nurse’s true story of life in a busy A&E department during the Covid-19 crisis. Working in A&E is a challenging job but nurse Louise Curtis loves it. She was newly qualified as an advanced clinical practitioner, responsible for life or death decisions about the patients she saw, when the unthinkable happened and the country was hit by the Covid-19 pandemic. The stress on the NHS was huge and for the first time in her life, the job was going to take a toll on Louise herself. In A Nurse’s Story she describes what happened next, as the trickle of Covid patients became a flood. And just as tragically, staff in A&E were faced with the effects of lockdown on society.

By turns heartbreaking and heartwarming, this book shines a light on the compassion and dedication of hospital staff during such dark times.

Naked Nurse
Author: Rose MacFarlane
Publisher: Rosetintedspecs Imprint
ISBN: 9780954451899
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 452
Book Description
The book covers Rose's life from 1945 to 1985. It is a thoughtful, heartfelt journey from childhood idyll in Derbyshire and Cornwall, through her student nurse days in Sheffield, midwifery training in London, the "Swinging Sixties" as a single mother, to family life and eventual divorce. She faced family tragedy in a large, boisterous family with an Irish GP father, Catholicism which she says was an unwelcome imposition and sexual violence. She went through hard times on her own in the big city. Eventually remarrying and moving to Kent she became an NHS statistic in 1985 as a work-injured nurse no longer able to work. The conduct of her employer, the National Health Service in making sure she did not receive compensation is disgraceful. This is where the book ends. Naked Nurse because of the vulnerability of student nurses, of young women in general in the 1960s. It is a harsh regime that Rose describes in the book through chapters eight to thirteen (there are thirty in total), though there are also highs. She laments some aspects of the standards of modern nursing and hopes they at least did not have to put up with the bullying and process of dehumanization that was more associated with military training. You will laugh many times while reading the book. At other times you will want to weep.
