The Pro-Nurse Handbook is an easy-to-read "self-help" book that offers tips for success on both professional and personal levels. Using a humourous and witty approach, Melodie Chenevert discusses problems faced by nurses every day, such as burnout, procrastination, productivity, and powerlessness. She offers suggestions for creative problem solving, and encourages nurses to take charge of their career. This new edition has been updated to address the concerns of today's nurses, including managed care, the changing job market, and the use of unlicensed personnel.
Melodie's book should be required reading for anyone entering the profession and for those in the profession. She will make you laugh and cry while reminding you why you got into nursing. She reminds us that what we are suppose to be doing in nursing should be in the best interest of patients and not all the other interests that clutter up health care today. I was changed after reading Pro-Nurse and better able to handle the stresses that we face trying to meet the challenges of nursing.
