Speaking of Nursing Narratives of Practice, Research, Policy, and the Profession

As the former Dean of the Yale University School of Nursing, Donna Diers, PhD, RN, FAAN, The Annie W. Goodrich Professor Emerita, has seen the environment of nursing change since the beginning of her career in the 1960s. Speaking of Nursing: Narratives of Practice, Research, Policy, and the Profession is a compilation of her unpublished and some published pieces spanning her entire career, dealing with generic issues in nursing research, advanced practice, policy, and public image. It is an evocative, narrative writing about nursing and nursing issues that addresses nursing as the care of the sick, and the tending of the environment within which care happens. Dr. Diers' writings are inspirational, and evidence based, making them significant and credible pieces of work for all nurses. "Reading this book was moving, informative, affirming and inspirational. It speaks of nursing in a way that makes its work and its wonder accessible to all. For nurses in general, studying or not, this is the kind of book we give each other as a gift." -Professor Mary Chiarella RN, LLB (Hons), PhD Chief Nursing Officer New South Wales Health Sydney, Australia Read more testimonials at http://www.jbpub.com/catalog/0763748544/testimonials.htm.Diers, Donna is the author of 'Speaking of Nursing Narratives of Practice, Research, Policy, and the Profession', published 2004 under ISBN 9780763748548 and ISBN 0763748544.
