Synopsis

This book is a compilation of the best pieces of creative and humorous writing published in the nursing and related literature within the last 20 years. Many of the articles selected deal with the relationship between nurses and their colleagues, physicians, patients and patients' families. The articles are divided into nine chapters chronicling a typical nurse's career, beginning with the trials and tribulations of nursing school and the perils of job hunting. In the third chapter, the new nurse learns to cope with a plethora of diseases along with the nuts and bolts of treatment regimens. Learning to co-operate with physicians and using communication effectively are of paramount importance in a nurse's daily work. The sixth chapter draws on the world of academics and the mass media's perceptions of the nursing profession.
