What are the joys, the stresses, the transcendent moments, the fall-off-your-bed- laughing moments, and the terrors that have to be faced and stared down? And how might nurses, looking back, relate these experiences in ways that bring these memories to life again and provide historical context for how nursing education has changed and yet remained the same?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn brave, revealing, and often humorous poetry and prose, \u003ci\u003eLearning to Heal\u003c\/i\u003e explores these questions with contributions by nurses from a variety of social, ethnic, and geographical backgrounds. Readers meet a black nursing student who is surrounded by white teachers and patients in 1940, a mother who rises every morning at 5 A.M. to help her family ready for their day before she herself heads to anatomy class, and an itinerant Jewish teenager who is asked, \"What will you become?\" These individuals, and many other women and men, share personal stories of finding their way to nursing school, where they begin a long, often wonderful, and sometimes daunting, journey.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMany of the nurse-authors are experienced, well- published writers; others are academics, widely known in their fields; but each offers a unique perspective on nursing education. Notably, an essay by Minnie Brown Carter and an interview with Helen L. Albert provide valuable ethnographies of underrepresented voices.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThrough strong, moving essays and poems that explore various aspects of student nursing and provide historical perspective on nursing and nursing education, all have stories to tell. \u003ci\u003eLearning to Heal\u003c\/i\u003e tells them in ways that will appeal to many readers, both in and out of the nursing and medical professions, and to educators in the medical humanities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bryner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kent State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/09\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Literature and Medicine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781606353585","brand":"Kent State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45463086497929,"sku":"9781606353585","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_b34fe576-b408-4dff-ac3a-f990c86baa2f.jpg?v=1774996392","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/learning-to-heal-reflections-on-nursing-school-in-poetry-and-prose-9781606353585","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
