This book highlights nurses’ extraordinary work when helping patients, families, communities, and fellow nurses achieve health and well-being. Chapters feature examples of the various roles nurses perform when caring for people; it introduces nursing students, nurses, and the public to the intricacies of patient and nurse relationships. In addition to the professional requirements of each role and types of external recognition for nurses’ excellence, the book includes examples of extraordinary nursing practices, analyzed as nursing situations. These stories illustrate nurses’ responses to calls for nursing and the manner by which nurses care for people as both engage, interact, experience caring, and grow as caring people. Each nursing situation reveals the knowledge nurses rely on as they care for the people needing nursing care, through the scientific knowledge of nursing, the artistic knowledge of nursing, the personally developed nursing knowledge, the ethical nursing knowledge, and the knowledge gained through technology.
