Den här boken riktar sig i första hand till studenter i grundutbildning till sjuksköterska. I fokus står de kompetenser och etiska förhållningssätt som sjuksköterskan måste besitta för att kunna ge en personcentrerad, säker och effektiv vård. Omvårdnaden finns i sjuksköterskans möte med patienten och i patientens förtroende för sjuksköterskan. Förtroendet bygger på en överenskommelse mellan samhället och sjuksköterskorna som yrkesgrupp, om att det finns värderingar, kunskap och förhållningssätt som patienten kan lita på. Detta utgör också grunden i utvecklingen av den individuella sjuksköterskans professionella förhållningssätt.Förtroendet baseras på ett antal önskvärda kompetenser hos sjuksköterskan: uppdaterad kunskap, klinisk färdighet, empatisk förmåga, medvetenhet om egna begränsningar, god självkännedom och medvetenhet om gränsen för professionellt uppträdande. I boken omnämns detta som 6C-modellen.Det unika med boken är den helhetsbild som den ger och beskrivningarna av de empatiska och personcentrerade synsätt som krävs för att lära sig ge professionell klinisk omvårdnad.
"What do you think that Cayden is going to do when he sees tomorrow that you can walk?" Tori, my main, favorite nurse and good friend asked, as she adminis-tered my chemo."I honestly don't know, because I don't know what to think about it." I replied, honestly. "It is by God's grace that you can walk again, sweetie." Mom said, holding my hand, and giving it a gentle squeeze and kiss. " Your Dad and I had never thought that we would see you do it again.""I agree with that 100%." I smiled, my eyes gently closing, as the chemo treatment made me tired. "God is good, all the time...""And all the time, God is good." Mom and Tori smiled.
When you’re a woman of a certain age, you are not promised anything at all other than that everything will get worse. But what if everything you’ve been told is a lie.Come to Paris, August 2021, when the City of Lights was still empty of tourists and a thirst for long-overdue pleasure gripped those who wandered its streets.After New York City emptied out in March 2020, Glynnis MacNicol, aged forty-six, unmarried with no children, spent sixteen months alone in her tiny Manhattan apartment. The isolation was punishing. A year without touch. Women are warned of invisibility as they age, but this was an extreme loneliness no one can prepare you for. When the opportunity to sublet a friend’s apartment in Paris arose, MacNicol jumped on it. Leaving felt less like a risk than a necessity.What follows is a decadent, unexpected journey into one woman’s pursuit of radical enjoyment.The weeks in Paris are filled with friendship and food and sex. There is dancing on the Seine; a plethora of gooey cheese; midnight bike rides through empty Paris; handsome men; afternoons wandering through the empty Louvre; nighttime swimming in the ocean off a French island. And yes, plenty of nudity.In the spirit of Deborah Levy and Annie Ernaux, I’m Mostly Here to Enjoy Myself is an intimate, insightful, powerful, and endlessly pleasurable memoir of an intensely lived experience whose meaning and insight expand far beyond the personal narrative. MacNicol is determined to document the beauty, excess, and triumph of a life that does not require permission.The pursuit of enjoyment is a political act, both a right and a responsibility. Enjoying yourself—as you are—is not something the world tells you is possible, but it is.Here’s the proof.
A children's song inspires a love of Greek mythology in a young girl. A young woman finds a career in archeology and illustration. A young mother sees her daughter become a woman, as her own mother's memories are lost. Persephone's Garden is a deeply personal story and an inventive study of girlhood, womanhood and motherhood, through memory, history and mythology.
Humor and the novel both belong, in important ways, to the nineteenth century. It is in the nineteenth-century that we saw an unprecedented outpouring of novels and short-stories, and it was also in the nineteenth century when ‘humor’ emerged as the dominant term through which the comic was described. Victorian Humor argues that these two features of nineteenth-century culture shape one another in significant ways and, together, point to a broader societal shift in ways of thinking about the individual. Building upon this historical connection, Victorian Humor offers a new theory and methodology for the interpretation of humor as a technique of narrative communication. This theory is described and illustrated through lively and amusing analyses of a wide range of texts: canonical texts by Dickens, Thackeray, and Trollope, more obscure texts by Bulwer-Lytton, Meredith, and Frances Trollope, as well as the minor works of Eliot and Gaskell. This theory is developed in conversation with recent interdisciplinary research in humor theory and narrative theory, grounded in nineteenth-century literary and intellectual culture. It offers the field of literature and Victorian literature a needful update both to how we understand humor and interpret its presence in narrative.

A groundbreaking review of the seldom-studied semi-aquatic freshwater mammals, covering biology, behavior, and conservation.Semi-aquatic mammals are some of the rarest and most endangered mammals on earth. What binds them together in the minds of biologists, despite their diverse taxa and body forms, are evolutionary traits that allow them to succeed in two worlds—spending some time on land and some in the water. Semi-aquatic Mammals fills a crucial void in the literature by highlighting the important ecological roles and curious biology of these remarkable animals.In this unique book, wildlife ecologist Glynnis A. Hood presents the first comprehensive examination of a global suite of 140 freshwater semi-aquatic mammals. Each one has overcome the distinct ecological challenges of thriving in both aquatic and terrestrial habitats as part of everyday life. Covering millions of years, Hood's exploration begins with the extinct otter-like Buxolestes and extends to consider the geographical, physical, behavioral, and reproductive traits of its present-day counterparts. Hood explains how semi-aquatic mammals are able to navigate a viscous environment with almost no resistance to heat loss, reveals how they maintain the physical skills necessary to avoid predation and counter a more thermally changeable environment, and describes the array of adaptations that facilitate success in their multifaceted habitats. She also addresses specific conservation challenges faced by these mammals.Her analysis takes readers to the haunts of intriguing semi-aquatic mammals from around the world,• introducing the "paradoxical platypus," an Australian egg-laying monotreme that detects prey through electroreception• venturing into the swamps and mangroves of Southeast Asia, where fishing cats wave their paws above the water's surface to lure prey• trawling the streams and lakes of South America, where the female water opossum uses its backward-facing pouch to keep her babies warm during deep dives• spending time with species that engineer freshwater habitats into more productive and complex systems, including North American beavers and Africa's common hippopotamusFeaturing award-winning artist Meaghan Brierley's stunning illustrations throughout, Semi-aquatic Mammals is an unparalleled reference on some of the world's most tenacious and fascinating mammals.
I'm madder than a baby gator being swung by its tail My best friend, Lucy, just told me I need to see a shrink because I have trust issues with men. A shrink Really ? Me, Jamie Fulton, crazy? No way. Unless you call it crazy to have trusted my toxic, schizo father and my diabolical almost husband with my heart. Even after three years, I still feel like a gullible fool every time I think of how I was one of those women in love who trusted blindly, when there were signs that something was wonky about him all along. NOW I'M OUT OF TRUST AND OFF MEN. In Lucy's defense, maybe I am just a teensy bit callous to the men I come into contact with in my busy life as a divorce attorney. Especially since I specialize in high-net-worth divorces and litigation. And, I only accept female clients. My reasons for the 'females only' rule is two-fold: First, is my desire to see these women get what they deserve - a return of their dignity. Even though most of them readily admit that their lives are hardly a romantic love story any longer, and definitely not a romantic comedy - they are shocked when their husband asks for a divorce. Of course, sometimes it's the woman who initiates the divorce. But, I always give the benefit of the doubt to the woman as to her reasons, and I'm usually proven right. Although, there is the occasional gold-digger that slithers under my door. My second reason could be construed as a little over the top considering these husbands aren't my problem, but...I derive almost as much pleasure out of seeing them squirm as their wives do. Maybe more. The husband's attorney (the males at least) call me 'The Barracuda' behind my back. Do I care? About as much as the size of a no-see-um. So...Lucy already had some heavy ammunition, even before I met a gorgeous man named Mick a few weeks ago in a most, let's just say, unusual way. I reject all of his attempts to befriend me, in the days and weeks following our meeting. Lucy hears about Mick and tries to play matchmaker, but I'm having none of it. Then Lucy tells me I need to "see someone" about my trust issues with men. To reiterate - NOT GONNA HAPPEN I barely restrain myself from throwing a great big ole' hissy fit right here in the parking lot of my office building. I hold it together only because a hissy fit wouldn't reflect well on my practice. Undeterred, Lucy calls me out using dirty, underhanded tactics. She takes my shoulders, looks directly into my eyes and says sweetly, "Don't you want your very own romantic love story, Jamie?" Then the kicker, "Don't you want babies?" Okay, okay already, I'll go see a shrink But, there's no way a shrink is going to fix my issues, they're too ingrained in my personality. Besides, I told her, I'm perfectly willing to forego romance and go to the "bank". She had the nerve to laugh in my face. Of course, I couldn't stay mad at Lucy for long. Every year she and I take a mini-vacation for our birthdays. We decide to go to a Fort Myers Beach Hotel for mine. I'm enjoying the sun, the serenity, the frozen daiquiris and my newly acquired beach read - a romantic comedy. Lucy asks me if it's one of those historical or contemporary love stories? I lie and tell her it's a contemporary drama that just happens to include a bit of romance. She almost gets away with her "mmmhum" along with a knowing look over the top of her sunglasses that says I'm a sucker for romance. I stick my tongue out at her. Hey, I might be off men but women's fiction often includes a romantic love story, so sue me. Later in the day we kayak to a secluded island where we run into Mick. Really ? He has me spitting fire one minute and humiliated to the point of wanting to bury myself head first in the sand the next. Hell, who needs a book; my life's a contemporary drama Then Lucy does something that sends me into a tailspin. Will Lucy ever be able to forgive me for what comes next? Will I ever be able to trust men? The jury
Featured in multiple “must-read” lists, No One Tells You This is “sharp, intimate…A funny, frank, and fearless memoir…and a refreshing view of the possibilities—and pitfalls—personal freedom can offer modern women” (Kirkus Reviews).If the story doesn’t end with marriage or a child, what then? This question plagued Glynnis MacNicol on the eve of her fortieth birthday. Despite a successful career as a writer, and an exciting life in New York City, Glynnis was constantly reminded she had neither of the things the world expected of a woman her age: a partner or a baby. She knew she was supposed to feel bad about this. After all, single women and those without children are often seen as objects of pity or indulgent spoiled creatures who think only of themselves. Glynnis refused to be cast into either of those roles, and yet the question remained: What now? There was no good blueprint for how to be a woman alone in the world. It was time to create one. Over the course of her fortieth year, which this ?“beguiling” (The Washington Post) memoir chronicles, Glynnis embarks on a revealing journey of self-discovery that continually contradicts everything she’d been led to expect. Through the trials of family illness and turmoil, and the thrills of far-flung travel and adventures with men, young and old (and sometimes wearing cowboy hats), she wrestles with her biggest hopes and fears about love, death, sex, friendship, and loneliness. In doing so, she discovers that holding the power to determine her own fate requires a resilience and courage that no one talks about, and is more rewarding than anyone imagines. “Amid the raft of motherhood memoirs out this summer, it’s refreshing to read a book unapologetically dedicated to the fulfillment of single life” (Vogue). No One Tells You This is an “honest” (Huffington Post) reckoning with modern womanhood and “a perfect balance between edgy and poignant” (People)—an exhilarating journey that will resonate with anyone determined to live by their own rules.
