Book Synopsis The Nurse in Popular Media by : Marcus K. Harmes,
Download or read book The Nurse in Popular Media written by Marcus K. Harmes, and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2021-10-28 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The image of the nurse is ubiquitous, both in life and in popular media. One of the earliest instances of nursing and media intersecting is the Edison phonographic recording of Florence Nightingale's voice in 1890. Since then, a parade of nurses, good, bad or otherwise, has appeared on both cinema and television screens. How do we interpret the many different types of nurses--real and fictional, lifelike and distorted, sexual and forbidding--who are so visible in the public consciousness? This book is a comprehensive collection of unique insights from scholars across the Western world. Essays explore a diversity of nursing types that traverse popular characterizations of nurses from various time periods. The shifting roles of nurses are explored across media, including picture postcards, film, television, journalism and the collection and preservation of uniforms and memorabilia.

Book Synopsis Nurses and Nursing by : Pádraig Ó Lúanaigh
Download or read book Nurses and Nursing written by Pádraig Ó Lúanaigh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-04-21 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook draws on international contributors with a range of backgrounds to explore, engage with and challenge readers in understanding the many aspects and elements that inform and influence contemporary nursing practice. With a focus to the future, this book explores the challenges facing health services and presents the arguments for a nursing contribution and influence in ensuring safe and quality care. Readers are supported to explore how, as individuals, they can shape their personal nursing identity and practice. The structure of the text is based on the belief that an individual nurse’s professional identity is developed through an interaction between their personal attributes and the influences of the profession itself. Reflecting this approach, the authors engage in a conversation with the reader rather than simply presenting a series of facts and information. Organised around a series of topical and pertinent questions and drawing on perspectives from policy, education and practice, the book explores a diverse range of topics such as: how historical and popular media representations of nursing hold back nursing practice today; the opportunities presented through education and nursing role development to increase the nursing contribution to health services; the economic and political influences on nursing and health care; how the professional regulation of nurses and core values informs your practice; ways to define and develop your own strong nursing identity. Central chapter questions provide ideal triggers for group discussions in class or online and equally as discussion topics between colleagues to support ongoing professional development. There is an emphasis throughout Nurses and Nursing on challenging thinking to recast nursing practice for the future by encouraging the reader to explore and create their emerging nursing identity or re-examine previously long held views. This text supports the reader to better understand health care, nursing and most importantly themselves as nurses.
Book Synopsis Paradoxes in Nurses’ Identity, Culture and Image by : Margaret McAllister
Download or read book Paradoxes in Nurses’ Identity, Culture and Image written by Margaret McAllister and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-01-29 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines some of the more disturbing representations of nurses in popular culture, to understand nursing’s complex identities, challenges and future directions. It critically analyses disquieting representations of nurses who don’t care, who kill, who inspire fear or who do not comply with laws and policies. Also addressed are stories about how power is used, as well as supernatural experiences in nursing. Using a series of examples taken from popular culture ranging from film, television and novels to memoirs and true crime podcasts, it interrogates the meaning of the shadow side of nursing and the underlying paradoxes that influence professional identity. Iconic nursing figures are still powerful today. Decades after they were first created, Ratched and Annie Wilkes continue to make readers and viewers shudder at the prospect of ever being ill. Modern storytelling modes are bringing to audiences the grim reality that some nurses are members of the working poor, like Cath Hardacre in Trust Me, and others can be dangerous con artists, like the nurse in Dirty John. This book is important reading for all those interested in understanding the links between nursing’s image and the profession’s potential as an agent for change.
Book Synopsis Heroism, Celebrity and Therapy in Nurse Jackie by : Christopher Pullen
Download or read book Heroism, Celebrity and Therapy in Nurse Jackie written by Christopher Pullen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an examination of the television series Nurse Jackie, making connections between the representational processes and the audience consumption of the series. A key point of reference is the political and performative potential of Nurse Jackie with regards to its progressive representation of prescription drug addiction and its relationship to the concept of quality television. It deconstructs Nurse Jackie ’s discursive potential, involving intersections with contemporary notions of genre, heroism, celebrity, therapy and feminism. At the same time this book foregrounds the self-refl exive educational potential of the series, largely enabled by the scriptwriters and the leading actor Edie Falco.
Download or read book Saving Lives written by Sandy Summers and published by Kaplan Trade. This book was released on 2015 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For millions of people worldwide, nurses are the difference between life and death, self-sufficiency and dependency, hope and despair. But a lack of understanding of what nurses really do -- one perpetuated by popular media's portrayal of nurses as simplistic archetypes -- has devalued the profession and contributed to a global shortage that constitutes a public health crisis. Today, the thin ranks of the nursing workforce contribute to countless preventable deaths. This fully updated and expanded edition of Saving Lives highlights the essential roles nurses play in contemporary health care and how this role is marginalized by contemporary culture. Through engaging prose and examples drawn from television, advertising, and news coverage, the authors detail the media's role in reinforcing stereotypes that fuel the nursing shortage and devalue a highly educated sector of the contemporary workforce. Perhaps most important, the authors provide a wealth of ideas to help reinvigorate the nursing field and correct this imbalance. As American health care undergoes its greatest overhaul in decades, the practical role of nurses -- that as autonomous, highly skilled practitioners -- has never been more important. Accordingly, Saving Lives addresses both the sources of, and prescription for, misperceptions surrounding contemporary nursing."--Publisher information.

Book Synopsis In Search of Sympathy by : Sarah Chaney
Download or read book In Search of Sympathy written by Sarah Chaney and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2022-02-01 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1939, the British journal Nursing Mirror launched a competition to find the "typical" nurse. Over the following weeks, hundreds of nurses submitted a portrait photograph to try and meet the journal's criteria. "This is not a beauty competition in the ordinary sense of the word." The editor stressed, "It is to find the typical nurse--the nurse whose features suggest not merely beauty of line, but professional capacity and human sympathy". Was it even possible to show these things in one simple photograph? The Nursing Mirror judges certainly thought so. The competition winners--and other entries published regularly during 1939--provide an interesting lens through which to explore inter-war stereotypes of nursing in Britain. From this starting point on the eve of the Second World War, this work looks back through the complex--and often conflicting--representations of British nursing in the inter-war era, from the impact of the Nursing Registration Act of 1919 to the romanticized figure of Edith Cavell and the lingering specter of the angelic Nightingale nurse. It examines how attitudes to gender and class influenced representations of nursing, and how those attitudes themselves changed during this period. It considers why the visual image of the nurse was so prominent in portrayals of nursing, and perhaps most importantly of all, what impact those stereotypes of nursing had for those at the vanguard of a fledgling profession.

Download or read book Florence Nightingale written by Charles River Editors and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-11-09 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Includes pictures *Includes accounts of Nightingale's life and work written by contemporaries, as well as Florence herself *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading *Includes a table of contents "I think one's feelings waste themselves in words; they ought all to be distilled into actions which bring results." - Florence Nightingale Today, nursing is one of the most ubiquitous professions in the world, and images of war immediately call to mind nursing the wounded, but it was not long ago that such ideas were relatively primitive. Indeed, schoolchildren are still taught about the revolutionary exploits of Florence Nightingale, the war nurse who is often credited as the founder of modern nursing. As The Times wrote of Nightingale, "She is a 'ministering angel' without any exaggeration in these hospitals, and as her slender form glides quietly along each corridor, every poor fellow's face softens with gratitude at the sight of her. When all the medical officers have retired for the night and silence and darkness have settled down upon those miles of prostrate sick, she may be observed alone, with a little lamp in her hand, making her solitary rounds." Florence Nightingale first came to prominence during the Crimean War in the middle of the 19th century when she helped organize efforts to treat wounded soldiers, and the image of her doing rounds among those she treated at night became extremely popular in Europe, but her efforts extended far beyond the scope of battle. In time, she came to found the first secular nursing school, at St Thomas' Hospital in London, and with that she began to transform nursing into an actual profession. Perhaps not surprisingly, in conjunction with nursing, Nightingale was a social reformer who advocated for the advancement of women in all areas of life, from healthcare to poverty, and she bolstered her work with voluminous writings on behalf of her causes. Florence Nightingale: The Life and Legacy of the Most Famous Nurse in History chronicles one of the most famous women of the 19th century. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about Florence Nightingale like never before.

Book Synopsis I Wasn't Strong Like This When I Started Out: True Stories of Becoming a Nurse by : Lee Gutkind
Download or read book I Wasn't Strong Like This When I Started Out: True Stories of Becoming a Nurse written by Lee Gutkind and published by Underland Press. This book was released on 2013-02-25 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of true narratives reflects the dynamism and diversity of nurses, who provide the first vital line of patient care. Here, nurses remember their first "sticks," first births, and first deaths, and reflect on what gets them though long, demanding shifts, and keeps them in the profession. The stories reveal many voices from nurses at different stages of their careers: One nurse-in-training longs to be trusted with more "important" procedures, while another questions her ability to care for nursing home residents. An efficient young emergency room nurse finds his life and career irrevocably changed by a car accident. A nurse practitioner wonders whether she has violated professional boundaries in her care for a homeless man with AIDS, and a home care case manager is the sole attendee at a funeral for one of her patients. What connects these stories is the passion and strength of the writers, who struggle against burnout and bureaucracy to serve their patients with skill, empathy, and strength.
