about&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Theresa Brown provides us with a peek inside a typical day of the life of a nurse in an urban teaching hospital.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She explains how much pressure there is on the nurses and what they have to deal with while helping their patients.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>&nbsp;Remember that every patient is a person with their own life and problems. Brown is constantly defending this point throughout the book\u2014that she is not just doing her job to collect a check but because she cares about each patient as if they were her own family members.<\/li><li>Medical professionals must work together to ensure that patients get the best possible care in any situation. Nurses need to build relationships with doctors and other medical practitioners to offer quality services to their patients.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"RNotes_Nurses_Clinical_Pocket_Guide_by_Ehren_Myers\"><\/span>RNotes: Nurse\u2019s Clinical Pocket Guide by Ehren Myers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"344\" height=\"499\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scijournal.org\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image1-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2869\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.scijournal.org\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image1-8.jpg 344w, https:\/\/www.scijournal.org\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image1-8-207x300.jpg 207w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 344px) 100vw, 344px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-4 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/RNotes%C3%82%C2%AE-Nurses-Clinical-Pocket-Guide\/dp\/0803640242?&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=site-02-science-20&amp;linkId=2b41366030c51099053ec622e86bb808&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Get the book<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Intro-Why you should read it<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Rnotes: Nurse\u2019s Clinical Pocket Guide <\/em><\/strong>by Ehren Myers is small enough to fit in your uniform pocket yet contains valuable information that will help you In your professional development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Summary-What this book is about&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This book covers anatomy and physiology, physical assessment, health promotion and maintenance, pharmacology, and diseases and injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ehren Myers&#8217; book helps you master the course content with workbook format, summary tables, review questions, and tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The best approach for improving patient outcomes is to empower patients by helping them understand how they can play an active role in managing their health.<\/li><li>Develop a trusting relationship with your patients by reflecting on your attitudes.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"First-Year_Nurse_Wisdom_Warnings_and_What_I_Wish_Id_Known_My_First_100_Days_on_the_Job_by_Kaplan_Nursing\"><\/span>First-Year Nurse: Wisdom, Warnings, and What I Wish I&#8217;d Known My First 100 Days on the Job&nbsp; by Kaplan Nursing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"481\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scijournal.org\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image6-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2870\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.scijournal.org\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image6-5.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.scijournal.org\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image6-5-300x289.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-5 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/First-Year-Nurse-Wisdom-Warnings\/dp\/1607140640?&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=site-02-science-20&amp;linkId=c19ed981b6088a7b603a66a3807ab3b6&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Get the book<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Intro-Why you should read it<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>First Year Nurse<\/em><\/strong> provides practical advice and wisdom to help nurses in their first months of employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Summary-What this book is about<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This book covers both the basics and the subtle intricacies of nursing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The practical tips and insider advice give you the information and valuable insight that will help you get out into the workforce quickly and successfully.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>&nbsp;Self-doubt is common among nurses, as well as in other professions.
