Description
25 nurses share their stories about Birth and death Victories and regrets Frustrations and hope What brought them to nursing What makes them stay A prison nurse: Walking back to the control bubble, I felt like a nurse in the Wild West, nursing on the edge. No longer shaky, I felt like a gun-slinging sheriff walking though town after killing an outlaw. "Nursing in the Big House" - Sara Stassen A home care and hospice nurse: Suddenly I was possessed with the urge to literally turn my head to the sky and say, "If you let me keep my daughter I promise I'll give you something back." My desire to become a nurse had finally decided to announce itself. "My Cosmic Uncle Sam" - Liza Leukhardt In "We Must Speak Up," editor Karen Buley concludes with a call to action to combat the current nursing shortage. Karen Buley, RN, BSN has been a nurse for thirty-one years. Her publishing credits include American Nurse Today, A Cup of Comfort for Nurses, Directions in Nursing, Family Circle, Holiday Voices, the Missoulian, Montana Voices, and Story Circle Journal. Karen continues to care for new families and their babies in Missoula, Montana. 10% of proceeds will be donated to nurse educator scholarships"
