Product Description
From Silence to Voice provides essential information that will heighten nurse's awareness of issues that systematically deny the critical contributions of nurses to patient care. Buresh and Gorden meticulously examine the influence of history, culture and gender that have affected theimage of the nurse and therefore the care of the patient. Intuitively, nurses know what the authors have documented: that nurses silence about their vital role in patient care portends invisibility which results in lack of recognition, reward and job satisfaction. From Silence to Voice walks the reader through the practical steps, that can be incorporated in every nurse's practice, that are required to break through the silence and flourish.

 From Silence to Voice: What Nurses Know and Must Communicate to the Public December 27, 2008

Because the authors are not nurses, they cannot fully communicate to nurses in a manner that nurses will accept and understand. However, they do bring up many good points and things for nurses to consider.
 Should Be Required Reading for all Nurses August 25, 2008
John J. Poillucci
This is a great book for nurses. I wish I was required to read it in nursing school. Well written and easy to read. It makes you think long and hard about your practice and what we all need to do to improve nursing as a whole.

I recommend this book to any nurse out there that wants a better understanding of why we as a group take the BS we take in our profession. This book is a rally cry for nurses to get out there and speak up about what we see in the workplace, and to get up the gumption to do something about it. Nurses: Read this book, and give a copy to your friends.

The item is a very good book to read. Easy reading. The only problem was purchasing this item from a 3rd party company which caused a 2-3 wks delay. If I knew after purchasing how long it would take, I would have just spent the $3 I was saving. Not worth the few $ savings if you need it at a certain time. This was a book I needed for school. Very disappointing.

This is a wonderful book which every nurse should read. The authors show how we can explain to the public what nurses really do and how technical, skillful and complicated nursing care can be. Once the public better understands the role of the nurse (it isn't what you see on ER or Grey's Anatomy for sure) it would follow that nurses would receive the respect they deserve.
