Arguing that healthcare can be thought about and experienced differently, this book:
- provides a summary of the latest research on resilience, explaining its relevance and also limitations for nurses;
- considers debates about compassion and highlights the effects of policy agendas on nurse education and nursing work;
- re-evaluates nursing’s professional identity, including where nursing has come from and the effects of class, gender and race on its powerbase;
- assesses the role of politics and social media, both in driving change and feeding resistance; and
- introduces the idea of critical resilience as a complete framework for resisting bullying and fostering survival and change in the nursing workforce.
Direct, upbeat, at times provocative and witty, this agenda-setting book enables nurses to understand why they feel the way they do. It also lists what opportunities are available to them to change, resist and survive in what has become a complex, challenging – if still deeply rewarding – line of work.
