Description

---

As a nurse leader, I failed to lead caring for years. I knew I had sold my soul to the health care industry. This book is about my life and career as a nurse leader and how I reconnected with my purpose. It covers the contextual forces within health care. It ends with sage advice focusing on what keeps nurses in nursing. - Health care is no longer 'all things medical' - Patients are turning to nurses for authenticity in their vulnerability - Health care is a beast to work in and is driving nurses out of nursing - Nurses often feel alone and without purpose - Health care is not changing soon - Nurses need help now - None of us can juggle nursing demands alone - Together we can thrive.
