I purchased this book and "Nursing Against the Odds" by Gordan at the same time. While this book provided inspiring articulation of my own thoughts at this point in my career, the other one was just depressing. I coasted through this book of essays by different authors and felt empowered and encouraged. The chapter by Diana Mason was particularly interesting for me. I think this is a timely book that should be read and discussed by nursing professionals everywhere!

This is THE BEST nursing book I've ever read. Had to read it for a required nursing class and I will read it again. Any nurse who cares about the nursing profession needs to read this book. I have passed it around work and everyone loves it. It holds your interest, and really represents the nursing profession. If only patients and the public could read this book...

These essays are well-written, and the ideas are well-articulated. The themes are presented via anecdotes and personal research, and any opinion is addressed from multiple perspectives. I just like it. Should be required reading for nursing students.
