The ABCs of NCLEX-RN and EXIT Hesi Test Success
Nursing is in high demand, especially amidst the current Covid-19 pandemic. However, while the supply could be there for nursing students to meet the high demand for nurses, few rarely know the immense pressures of nursing school, the coursework, the standardized exams such as the HESI, the Exit HESI, and finally the dreaded NCLEX-RN exam. Nursing takes a tremendous mental, physical, and emotional toll on future nurses both inside and outside of the classroom setting. Therefore, who is better to write a study guide using two prominent nursing text books on both the EXIT HESI and the NCLEX-RN exam, than a former MSN, CNL student herself. The textbooks are "Saunders Comprehensive NCLEX-RN examination" by Silvestri, the 7th edition and "HESI Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN Examination" by Al-Arabi, Cuellar, Dufrene, Garner, Jemison, Law, Leland, Pine, and Ralph, the 5th edition. This study guide version of these two popular Nursing textbooks will benefit nursing students who need one clear and concise resource that will meet their needs. Additionally, this book includes HESI hints and pyramid points that are highlighted throughout the book and chapters on Personal Nutrition and Fitness, and Mental Health and Wellness.

Supporting Physiological Birth Choices in Midwifery Practice
Highlighting the experiences of midwives who provide care to women opting outside of guidelines in the pursuit of physiological birth, Claire Feeley looks at the impact on midwives themselves, and explores how teams and organisations support or discourage women's birth choices.This book investigates the processes, experiences and sociocultural-political influences upon midwives who support women's alternative birthing choice and argues for a shift in perspective from notions of an individual's professional responsibility to deliver woman-centred care, to a broader, collective responsibility. The book begins by contextualising the importance of quality midwifery care with an exploration of the current debates to demonstrate how hegemonic birth discourse and maternity practices have detrimentally affected physiological birth rates, and the wellbeing of women who opt outside of maternity guidelines. It provides real life examples of how midwives can facilitate a range of birthing decisions within mainstream midwifery services. Moreover, an exploration of midwives' experiences of delivering such care is presented, revealing deeply polarised accounts from moral injury to job fulfilment. The polarised accounts are then presented within a new model to explore how a midwife's socio-political working context can significantly mediate or exacerbate the vulnerability, conflict and stigmatisation that they may experience as a result of supporting alternative birth choices. Finally, this book explores the implications of the findings, looking at how team and organisational culture can be developed to better support women and midwives, making recommendations for a systems approach to improving maternity services.Discussing the invisible nature of midwifery work, what it means to deliver woman-centred care, and the challenges and benefits of doing so, this is a thought-provoking read for all midwives and future midwives. It is also an important contribution to interprofessional concerns around workforce development, sustainability, moral distress and compassion in health and social care.
The nursing consultation in the oncological setting
The nursing consultation in the oncological setting in a primary care hospital is perceived as a special challenge by the staff of the higher service for health care and nursing. Above all, it involves being able to engage in conversations with patients and their relatives, which are characterised by complex questions. Nurses in the oncology setting are therefore required to engage in conversation and communication so that a deeper understanding of counselling can subsequently emerge.The aim of this research is to experience, identify and understand basic issues that come up in the context of a nursing consultation in the oncology setting, as well as a focus on difficulties, obstacles and the unexpected in the context of a consultation. The research methodology of grounded theory is chosen for the present work.

Midwives in History and Society
Originally published in 1986, this book examines the history of midwifery, concentrating on 19th and 20th Century Britain. It shows how the evolution of the midwife has been influenced by cultural waves which started in the Near East and Egypt in pre-classical times and slowly spread Northwards and Eastwards over Europe. The authors emphasize the effects of specialization and professionalization upon midwifery and also the influence of male authority and interest group politics. The evolution of the educated qualified midwife of the 20th Century is recorded, leading up to the ongoing debates about high technology birth vis-?-vis natural birth and home deliveries.

Taking Action
The crucible of the global pandemic, racial injustice, and a crippling nursing shortage has sparked increasing calls for nursing to address its own problems from inequity to structural racism. In response, authors Susan B. Hassmiller and Gaea A. Daniel enlisted nearly 70 national and international nursing leaders to tackle the most pressing issues confronting the profession. Taking Action: Top 10 Priorities to Promote Health Equity and Well-Being in Nursing spotlights 10 critical themes through data, essays, discussion points, and action items, equipping readers to move beyond conversation to action.Issues or themes include: Health equityEducation reformDiversity and mentorshipCare delivery: quality, safety, accessMulti-sector collaborationPreparing for disasters and public health emergenciesInnovation and entrepreneurshipNurse well-being: compassion for self and othersGlobal stewardshipNursing's voice in leading change Similar to the second edition of The Power of Ten, the authors chose senior leaders well-versed in their chosen topics to contribute their expertise. With attention to diversity at all levels, including race, geography, gender, age, and sexual orientation, we asked the senior leaders to work with a mentee when possible to gain the perspective of up-and-coming leaders. Some of the essays were authored solely by up-and-coming diverse leaders, some of whom have never before published. To provide perspectives for all of nursing, we wanted all of nursing to be represented, or as much as we could for this small book. To gain such a diverse array of perspectives (66 essays in all), we limited each author to around 1,000 words. We have also supplemented the essays with notable quotes from experienced and novice leaders, in addition to the poetry and illustrations of Lucinda Canty and the song lyrics of Tad Worku.

Breastfeeding Technique. A Study to Assess the Knowledge Regarding Breastfeeding Technique among Mothers with Newborn in Haritha Multispeciality Hospital, Kakinada, India
Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2015 in the subject Nursing Science - Miscellaneous, grade: 85, course: M.Sc. Nursing, language: English, abstract: In this book dealt with Breastfeeding provides physical contact which improves the bonding between mother and the baby. Breastfeeding is highly beneficial to mothers too; it is known to decrease the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus, and postpartum depression. Breastfeeding mothers experience less breast discomfort and regain their pre-pregnancy status far more rapidly than the non-lactating mothers. Breastfeeding mothers have decreased postpartum blood loss and more rapid involution of the uterus. Continued breastfeeding leads to increased child spacing secondary to lactational amenorrhea. A mother with a newborn should have adequate knowledge on Breastfeeding and its proper technique so as to exploit its innumerous benefits. This research work is an outstanding, useful for clinical practice and future similar work in community settings.
Wonder, Silence, and Human Flourishing
Wonder, Silence, and Human Flourishing: Toward a Rehumanization of Health, Education, and Welfare approaches humanization and the process of re-enchantment in a radical new way. For more than a decade the call for rehumanization in education, care and welfare has been heard and discussed primarily in critical thinking, political theory, and sociological discourses. This critique is mainly based on a social constructivist and naturalistic worldview that keeps the discussion in an anthropocentric perspective. By focusing on the phenomenology and ethics of wonder as an ontological and even spiritual event, and by listening to the silence that follows this contemplative wonder, the contributors offer an existential, phenomenological, and hermeneutic way of understanding humanization. Edited by Finn Thorbj繪rn Hansen, Solveig Eide Botnen, and Carlo Leget, the book shows, from various perspectives, that the force of wonder and the silence that follows from it can nurture our ability to be receptive to and present in human relations and in resonance with the meaning-giving life phenomena that surround us.
