商品簡介
Nursing with Disabilities: Professional Issues and Job Retention grapples with issues that many nurses have suffered but the profession has avoided up till now, from three perspectives: RNs with disabilities, nurse leaders and administrators, and patients. This book, written by the foremost researcher on nurses with disabilities, features the voices of actual nurse with disabilities, nurse recruiters, nurse managers and patients, to outline issues and propose solutions. The book identifies nurses with disabilities (from sensory to muscoskeletal and emotional and mental health), discusses why they leave nursing or hide their disability to sustain their position or obtain a new one, and analyzes how it may influence career choices. Feature issues include patient safety, environmental factors, and retention strategies. Nursing leaders/administrators, with the power to institute change to retain nurses with disabilities, comprise the key audience. Nurse educators will use the book as a supplementary text in undergraduate and graduate courses in policy and leadership.
