Any 21 year old can do this with 30 years experience! Steeped in wisdom from the vantage point of hindsight, this is a candid recounting of life as a nurse. What is it like to know that a little mistake at work could be deadly? From bizarre to humorous to poignant, share in the lessons learned from nursing's greatest teachers, the patients themselves. "I became a nurse by accident," wrote this young, inexperienced nurse, sharing her insecurities with a pad of paper. What began as a career misstep, evolved into a journey that was unexpectedly challenging and fulfilling, at times daunting, and often humbling. Reflecting back over decades of experiences in different settings, one theme emerges. Suffering and pain are immutable. A loving touch, a listening ear, a gentle word - will never go out of date. The need for compassion, in a field swirling with new technology, transcends time. Nursing is replete with tireless women and men who answer the call to serve others, around the clock, every day of the year. It is a sisterhood and brotherhood, bound by a common theme, that the patient comes first - before lunch, before bathroom breaks, before sleep. This is our story of our calling to this art of compassion. While nursing may not be for everybody, Nursing Chose Me is engaging, funny, heartwarming, and an interesting read for all!

Winner of the 2013 Evergreen Book Award Bronze Medal for Health and Wellness The joys, fears, intimacies, and transcendent moments shared by a nurse and her patients "The Heart's Truth should be required reading at every nursing school in the country. It offers a powerful and moving portrait of what it means to be a nurse. In writing that is of the highest quality, the reader is swept up in the drama of nursing and the compassion with which it is perfused."--Richard Selzer, surgeon and author "Davis has perfectly captured the broader arc of movement from awkward, insecure novice to competent, often morally exhausted, clinician, with a poet's touch."--Amy M. Haddad, PhD "In her breathtaking collection of essays, Cortney Davis reveals 'the details of flesh' that comprise the core of a nurse's experience. Writing with the power, precision and careful observation of a seasoned clinician and the sensitivity of a poet, Davis guides the reader along the challenging path of her career."-- Richard Berlin, poet and physician "Cortney Davis has an uncanny ability to give voice to the profound act of everyday nursing and its power in transforming the lives of people. Somehow, she sees the shadows and ghosts that fill our bodies and souls and makes sense of them, showing us that the divide between patient and provider is an artificial one that can get in the way of true understanding. The Heart's Truth reminds us of the power of reflection and narrative and challenges us to reclaim these ways of knowing in the interest of healing our patients--and ourselves."--Diana J. Mason, PhD, RN, FAAN, Editor-in-Chief, American Journal of Nursing What is it like to be a student nurse washing the feet of a dying patient? To be a newly graduated nurse, in charge of the Intensive Care Unit for the first time, who wonders if her mistake might have cost a life? Or to be an experienced nurse who, by her presence and care, holds a patient to this world? Poet and nurse practitioner Cortney Davis answers these questions by examining her own experiences and through them reveals a glimpse into the minds and hearts of those who care for us when we are at our most vulnerable. The Heart's Truth offers the joys, frustrations, fears, and miraculous moments that nurses, new and experienced, face every day. In these finely wrought essays, Davis traces her twin paths, nursing and writing, inviting readers to share what she discovers along the way--lessons not only about the human body but also about the human soul. Rich, intimate, and never shrinking from the realities of illness, the grace of healing, or the wonder of words, The Heart's Truth will inspire student caregivers, intrigue readers, and affirm those who have long worked in nursing, a profession that Davis calls "odd, mysterious, humbling, addicting, and often transcendent."

When John Blakeman decided to become a registered nurse, he had no idea how much he would learn about himself, about patients, and about life. A valuable lesson he learned in nursing school was that every patient tells a story. Some stories are told verbally; some stories are told non-verbally; and other stories are only recognized after critical reflection. Join Blakeman as he explores his time in nursing school, reflecting on the lessons he learned from patients and also recounting his triumphs and tragedies. From trying to convince a patient that salt is not approved by the FDA as a pain reliever to holding the hand of a patient in her last days of life, the stories are real, and the lessons are significant. Indeed, nursing students encounter unique circumstances that can be challenging on a daily basis, and this book is a glimpse into some of those situations. Whether you are a student nurse, nurse educator, or have no connection to nursing at all, you will take away valuable lessons from this book. PRAISE FOR LEARNING FROM PATIENTS: Blakeman's Learning from Patients "depicts the evolution that takes place within an aspiring nurse during his journey in nursing education through his self-assessment and reflection. He shares moments that are insightful for both nursing students and faculty." -- Dr. Gloria Brummer, DNP, RN, CNE, CEN "There is no doubt that the nursing profession is as challenging as it is rewarding. Generally, the initial realization of this fact comes in nursing school. As a former nursing student, this book touches my heart and brings back all the memories of my own challenges and triumphs in nursing school. As a nursing educator, one of the most rewarding aspects of my career is watching the personal and professional growth of nursing students throughout their education. Nurses, nurse educators, nursing students, and anyone interested in the nursing profession will be able to relate to the emotions and experiences evoked from reading John's personal accounts of his journey toward becoming a professional nurse. For anyone considering a career in nursing, this book is an open and honest account of the big challenges and even bigger rewards you are facing. For practicing nurses, let this book take you back and remind you of the accomplishments you've achieved in your own journey and reaffirm that you make a difference." -- Lizabeth Hernandez, MSN, RN
