Pages : 186
Book Description
So you chose to become a nurse. Why? Most people answer that question with a cliché "I want to help people." Maybe that's the same answer you just gave. That's not the wrong answer, yet it's also not the whole picture. Though good intentions are commendable, grand hopes of changing the world are far removed from the daily reality of nursing. And what it means to change the world is a lot less glamorous than you might like to think. Kim R. Edwards has spent forty years of her life as a nurse. She was a nurse's aide for four years, a student nurse for two years, and on staff at Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare for 34 years. Her long-term experience as a nurse has inspired her to share her personal ups and downs in hopes that they will encourage, validate, and teach you throughout your own journey as a nurse. This book of heartfelt stories from the countless hours Kim has spent at her patients' bedside will teach you: How to cope with the challenges you will face when working with seasoned nurses How to be a valuable team player That you are human--and that's okay How to learn from your mistakes and cope with heartbreak If you're nervous, excited, and a little terrified to begin your nursing career, read Behind My Stethoscope to laugh, cry, and learn invaluable lessons straight from the heart of a nurse with over four decades of experience walking that path ahead of you. This life you've chosen will be worth it.

Stethoscope
Author: Anna Harris
Publisher: Reaktion Books
ISBN: 1789146348
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
A surprising investigation of a scientific instrument long at the pulse of medicine. This book explores the colorful past, present, and future of an instrument that is, quite literally, close to our hearts. The stethoscope has become the symbol of medicine itself—how did this come to be? What makes the stethoscope such a familiar yet charismatic object? Drawing from a range of fields including history, anthropology, science, technology, and sound studies, the book illustrates the variety of roles the stethoscope has played over time. It shows that the stethoscope is not, and has never been, a single entity. It is used to a variety of ends, serves several purposes, and is open to many interpretations. This variability is the key to the stethoscope’s enduring presence in the medical and popular imagination.
