Speaking of Nursing... : Narratives of Practice, Research, Policy, and the Profession

As the former Dean of the Yale University School of Nursing, Donna Diers, PhD, RN, FAAN, The Annie W.

Goodrich Professor Emerita, has seen the environment of nursing change since the beginning of her career in the 1960s.

Speaking of Nursing: Narratives of Practice, Research, Policy, and the Profession is a compilation of her unpublished and some published pieces spanning her entire career, dealing with generic issues in nursing research, advanced practice, policy, and public image.

It is an evocative, narrative writing about nursing and nursing issues that addresses nursing as the care of the sick, and the tending of the environment within which care happens.

Dr. Diers' writings are inspirational, and evidence based, making them significant and credible pieces of work for all nurses.
