Nursing: A Wicked Profession

This controversial book is now available on CD (in PDF format).

For those who are, or have ever been, a part of the nursing profession you know how difficult the art of nursing is to practice. Problem is, few others really understand what is involved in caring for others.

Nursing: A Wicked Profession was written to help people understand who nurses are and what the profession is really all about. Nurses are not angels, not bit players in a movie, but the essential backbone of healthcare systems across the globe. Without nursing professionals people requiring care for illness or injury would die more often, would suffer greater pain and life expectancy would fall. Medical breakthroughs would mean little without nurses to carry through on treatments and support of patients in hospital or out in the community.

This book takes a very real and human look at who nurses are and what they feel as they practice the art of caring for others.

As human beings some have succummed to the temptations of power resulting in abuse, even death, of others under their care...the "wicked side of human".

As the world population ages, new diseases emerge and nursing schools turn away potential students, it becomes "wickedly difficult" to provide the kind of care needed. Abusive situations are on the rise, baby boomer nurses are set to retire and fear of persecution...and prosecution...all contribute to present nurses leaving the profession.

Few, including governments, realize the "wicked power" nursing professionals have. We influence patients on a daily basis, have and continue to influence world health policy and out of necessity have become inventors of equipment, procedures and policies used everyday by nurses and other health care professionals.

Nursing is one of the most powerful professions in the world today and probably the least understood. This book opens the doors to understanding and I hope, like it's title, will cause controversy and discussion amongst professionals, governments and the health care consumer.
