For more than a decade, From Silence to Voice has been providing
nurses with communication tools they can use to win the resources
and respect they deserve. Now, in a timely third edition, authors
Bernice Buresh and Suzanne Gordon focus on how nurses can describe
and frame their work to seize unprecedented opportunities to
advance their profession and lead improvements in health care
systems.
The authors, both journalists, argue that because nursing needs
the support and cooperation of others to fulfill its potential, it
is critical that nurses communicate the full scope of nursing
practice. Nurses must go beyond describing nursing in terms of
dedication and caring and articulate nurses' specialized knowledge
and expertise.
From Silence to Voice helps nurses explain their contributions
to patient safety, satisfaction, and outcomes. It shows how nurses
can communicate with various publics about important aspects of
their work, such as how they master and employ complex medical
technologies and regimens, and how they use their clinical judgment
in life-and-death situations. "Nurses and nursing organizations,"
the authors write, must go out and tell the public what nurses
really do so that patients can actually get the benefit of their
expert care.
This comprehensively revised and updated third edition helps
nurses use a range of traditional and social media to accurately
describe the true nature of their work. Its analyses of images that
are projected by nursing campaigns and its detailed guidance in
helping nurses construct positive and powerful narratives of their
work make From Silence to Voice a must-read in nursing schools and
organizations and by individual nurses in all areas of the
profession. Because nurses are busy, many of the communication
techniques in this book are designed to integrate naturally into
nurses everyday lives and to complement nurses work with patients
and families."
