Empathic, sensitive, knowledgeable, and conscientious, they seem exceptional, but Gordon stresses that there are hundreds of thousands like them. By describing in detail the work of three highly skilled and experienced RNs-together they have a total of more than 50 years of experience-Gordon shows us nursing at its very best. Gordon shows us Nancy dealing with angry, frightened patients, Jeannie sharing her wisdom with younger nurses, and Ellen bicycling to the homes of Boston's homebound elderly poor. At Boston's Beth Israel Hospital, Gordon (Off Balance: The Real World of Ballet, 1983 Prisoners of Men's Dreams: Striking Out for a New Feminism, 1990 etc.) spent over two years following the daily routines of three registered nurses: Nancy Rumplik, an outpatient nurse in an ambulatory cancer clinic Jeannie Chaisson, a clinical nurse specialist on a general medical floor and Ellen Kitchen, a nurse-practitioner in the hospital's home-care service. Lavish praise for the nursing profession interwoven with dire warnings about the threat to its future posed by the growth of managed care. ![]() |
