Description
This is the first book to approach the concept of suffering from the perspective of nurses. The concept is of central importance in the growing field of palliative care and has special meaning for nurses who are intimately involved in caring for people experiencing serious illness or nearing the end of life.
Reviews / Votes
This slim volume, written by two experts in oncology and end-of-life nursing care who need no introduction, is a real gem. * Palliatve Care, Book of the Month * This wonderful book should be part of the standard curriculum for all nursing schools...a remarkable book...a reminder that dispensing pills and hanging IV bags are the things that get us to the bedside, but the truly important part of our work is what we do once we are there - honoring and supporting the suffering patient. * Doody's Notes *More details
