In this book, Suzanne Gordon describes the everyday work of three RNs in Boston-a nurse practitioner, an oncology nurse, and a clinical nurse specialist on a medical unit. At a time when nursing is often undervalued and nurses themselves are in short supply, Life Support provides a vivid, engaging, and intimate portrait of health care's largest profession and the important role it plays in patients' lives. Life Support is essential reading for working nurses, nursing students, and anyone considering a career in nursing as well as for physicians and health policymakers seeking a better understanding of what nurses do and why we need them. For the Cornell edition of this landmark work, Gordon has written an afterword that describes the current nursing crisis and its impact on bedside nurses like those she profiled in the book. ; BOOK JACKET.
