Safety in Numbers: Nurse-to-patient Ratios and the Future of Health Care (The Culture and Politics of Health ...
Suzanne Gordon, John Buchanan, ...

ILR Press, 2008

Legally mandated nurse-to-patient ratios are one of the most controversial topics in health care today. Ratio advocates believe that minimum staffing levels are essential for quality care, better working conditions, and higher rates of RN recruitment and retention that would alleviate the current global nursing shortage. Opponents claim that ratios will unfairly burden hospital budgets, while reducing management flexibility in addressing patient ...

Nursing against the Odds
This a a very good, and easy to read nursing text book. It flows well because of the real life stories and examples that all of us at the bedside can relate to. It makes you think about what you do, and what you say. How these things can and do impact patient care, and relationships with staff, patients, facilty, etc. We are such a necessary part of the bigger picture, and this book helps ...

The "true" colour of healthcare...
Although this book is based in the U.S., so much is the same in Canada. I would highly recommend this book for nurses [who may be trying to figure out 'what it's all about Alfie'], for nursing students and no doubt, the public - so they can gain a better understanding of what it is that nurses are up against. As one wise person put it - it's a pity that these corporate entities in charge of ...

McGraw-Hill, 1984

BALLET STUDENTS AND THEIR PARENTS MUST READ THIS BOOK!
Everything is NOT beautiful at the ballet.... This is a no-holds barred look at the dark side of ballet. If you thought "Little Girls in Pretty Boxes" was horrifying, this book is twice as shocking. Parents need to read this book in order to see what kind of life is in store for their child pursuing a career in dance. Ballet's stringent requirements for female dancers demand a breastless, ...

From Silence to Voice: What Nurses Know And Must Communicate to the Public, Second Edition

8 reviews
Bernice Buresh, Suzanne Gordon

ILR Press, 2006

Finding Voice
From Silence to Voice by Bernice Buresh and Suzanne Gordon is a must-read for all nurses. The message of the book is one nurses need to hear: talk about your work, show the world what you do, communicate the fact that nursing is skilled, responsible and interesting work. Buresh and Gordon make clear that much of the devaluing of nursing arises out of the fact that nurses avoid the limelight. ...

The Complexities of Care: Nursing Reconsidered (The Culture and Politics of Health Care Work)

2 reviews

ILR Press, 2006

A must read for the modern nurse
I purchased this book and "Nursing Against the Odds" by Gordan at the same time. While this book provided inspiring articulation of my own thoughts at this point in my career, the other one was just depressing. I coasted through this book of essays by different authors and felt empowered and encouraged. The chapter by Diana Mason was particularly interesting for me. I think this is a timely ...
