Book Synopsis Congenital Heart Disease by : Serena Francesca Flocco
Download or read book Congenital Heart Disease written by Serena Francesca Flocco and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the theoretical and practical basis of technical nursing in congenital heart disease; it is intended for nurses and nursing students, and for anyone involved in the treatment of these patients. The improvements in diagnosis and management of patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) are due to the recent advances in cardiac surgery and interventional cardiology and have meant that an increasing number of infants are reaching adolescence and adulthood. This manual is a practical and easy-to-use guide, which promotes effective cooperation between health professionals. Congenital heart disease is a disorder that is present at birth, and studies show that the incidence is around eight cases per thousand live births. The heart is formed during the first four - ten weeks of gestation, and alterations to this process can affect normal development, leading to heart defects. There are various types of heart defects: abnormalities that affect a single part of the heart (for example a valve) but also, highly complex abnormalities where there is severe damage to the cardiac architecture. The seriousness of the disease and the effects on child health vary: some forms have no real impact on child health and allow a normal life, while others are incompatible with life.

It is essential reading for student nurses, qualified nurses, supervisors, assessors, managers and nurse academics, who all want the nursing profession to invest in the highest-quality care, firmly rooted in the real heart of nursing practice. Each chapter focuses on a particular aspect of great nursing, illustrated by case studies, self-assessment tools and exercises, and supported by suggestions for further reading and self-development. Chapter 1 explores the ‘head, heart and hands principles’ of nursing care. Chapter 2 focuses on the core values of nursing practice from a professional perspective, with an emphasis on personal integrity. Chapters 3 and 4 enable readers to reflect on the skills and emotional intelligence needed to be an effective nurse, highlighting the importance of communication and individual learning needs. Career progression, resilience and the support of other nurses are discussed in Chapters 5 and 6. Chapter 7 then draws many of these ideas together by looking at nursing practice from the perspective of those receiving care. This enables readers to deepen their learning and reflect on their own practice. The final chapter considers the future of nursing, and the new nursing roles that may be needed, to ensure that great nurses meet the varied demands of future practice scenarios. Contents include: • The meaning of great nursing • Core values for nursing • Learning to be a great nurse • Effective nursing • Making a successful career of nursing • Supporting and influencing others to be great nurses • Patient perceptions of great nursing care • Embracing the future of nursing

Book Synopsis The Heart of Nursing by : Jeanne Koester
Download or read book The Heart of Nursing written by Jeanne Koester and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2020-10-22 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the adventures and experiences I had as a registered nurse over 53 years. I wanted to share these experiences to inspire men and women to choose nursing as a lifetime career. Nurses truly make a difference in the lives of people they care for. These adventures all touched my heart in various ways. It made me realize how just the simplest act, like a hug, holding their hand, or a smile, can mean so much to someone who is scared of dying or someone who feels like there is no-one who can help them. The is the excitement of saving a life or holding a newborn child. There is the rush of energy you get when there is a crisis in a patient’s condition that makes your heart pump faster and the look of peace on the face of a woman who died, knowing that someone cared and was there for her. Nursing is not just theory and based on technology, but true hands on care. It should be a combination of both.

Download or read book The Nurses written by Alexandra Robbins and published by Workman Publishing. This book was released on 2016-04-19 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times bestseller. “A funny, intimate, and often jaw-dropping account of life behind the scenes.”—People Nurses is the compelling story of the year in the life of four nurses, and the drama, unsung heroism, and unique sisterhood of nursing—one of the world’s most important professions (nurses save lives every day), and one of the world’s most dangerous, filled with violence, trauma, and PTSD. In following four nurses, Alexandra Robbins creates sympathetic characters while diving deep into their world of controlled chaos. It’s a world of hazing—“nurses eat their young.” Sex—not exactly like on TV, but surprising just the same. Drug abuse—disproportionately a problem among the best and the brightest, and a constant temptation. And bullying—by peers, by patients, by hospital bureaucrats, and especially by doctors, an epidemic described as lurking in the “shadowy, dark corners of our profession.” The result is a page-turning, shocking look at our health-care system.

Book Synopsis The Heart's Truth by : Cortney Davis
Download or read book The Heart's Truth written by Cortney Davis and published by Literature and Medicine. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2013 Evergreen Book Award Bronze Medal for Health and Wellness The joys, fears, intimacies, and transcendent moments shared by a nurse and her patients "The Heart's Truth should be required reading at every nursing school in the country. It offers a powerful and moving portrait of what it means to be a nurse. In writing that is of the highest quality, the reader is swept up in the drama of nursing and the compassion with which it is perfused."--Richard Selzer, surgeon and author "Davis has perfectly captured the broader arc of movement from awkward, insecure novice to competent, often morally exhausted, clinician, with a poet's touch."--Amy M. Haddad, PhD "In her breathtaking collection of essays, Cortney Davis reveals 'the details of flesh' that comprise the core of a nurse's experience. Writing with the power, precision and careful observation of a seasoned clinician and the sensitivity of a poet, Davis guides the reader along the challenging path of her career."-- Richard Berlin, poet and physician "Cortney Davis has an uncanny ability to give voice to the profound act of everyday nursing and its power in transforming the lives of people. Somehow, she sees the shadows and ghosts that fill our bodies and souls and makes sense of them, showing us that the divide between patient and provider is an artificial one that can get in the way of true understanding. The Heart's Truth reminds us of the power of reflection and narrative and challenges us to reclaim these ways of knowing in the interest of healing our patients--and ourselves."--Diana J. Mason, PhD, RN, FAAN, Editor-in-Chief, American Journal of Nursing What is it like to be a student nurse washing the feet of a dying patient? To be a newly graduated nurse, in charge of the Intensive Care Unit for the first time, who wonders if her mistake might have cost a life? Or to be an experienced nurse who, by her presence and care, holds a patient to this world? Poet and nurse practitioner Cortney Davis answers these questions by examining her own experiences and through them reveals a glimpse into the minds and hearts of those who care for us when we are at our most vulnerable. The Heart's Truth offers the joys, frustrations, fears, and miraculous moments that nurses, new and experienced, face every day. In these finely wrought essays, Davis traces her twin paths, nursing and writing, inviting readers to share what she discovers along the way--lessons not only about the human body but also about the human soul. Rich, intimate, and never shrinking from the realities of illness, the grace of healing, or the wonder of words, The Heart's Truth will inspire student caregivers, intrigue readers, and affirm those who have long worked in nursing, a profession that Davis calls "odd, mysterious, humbling, addicting, and often transcendent."
