Saving Lives: Why the Media’s Portrayal of Nurses Puts Us All at Risk by Sandy Summers, RN, MSN, MPH and Harry Jacobs Summers
Item#
11290
From the deplorable actions of tyrannical Nurse Ratched to the shenanigans of Major Margaret “Hot Lips” Houlihan, negative images of nurses are often the norm in movies, television and news outlets. When not portrayed in a negative light, the media often presents nurses as second-class healthcare professionals delegated to performing simple tasks, serving as plot devices or simply appearing as background fodder. Why is this so? Saving Lives aims to diminish the negative connotations that years of media abuse have yielded by delivering a positive and accurate presentation of these often unsung heroes of healthcare. Penned with the goal of changing the public’s perception of nurses, Saving Lives demonstrates how nurses cannot rely on the media to undo the damage they have done. Real change must come from within the nursing industry itself.
Saving Lives: Why the Media’s Portrayal of Nurses Puts Us All at Risk by Sandy Summers, RN, MSN, MPH and Harry Jacobs Summers is the November selection of the ADVANCE Book Club for Nurses.
