Code Green: Money-Driven Hospitals and the Dismantling of Nursing (ILR Press Books)

5 reviews
Dana Beth Weinberg, Suzanne Gordon

ILR Press, 2003

The "true" colour of healthcare...
Although this book is based in the U.S., so much is the same in Canada. I would highly recommend this book for nurses [who may be trying to figure out 'what it's all about Alfie'], for nursing students and no doubt, the public - so they can gain a better understanding of what it is that nurses are up against. As one wise person put it - it's a pity that these corporate entities in charge of ...

The Complexities of Care: Nursing Reconsidered (The Culture and Politics of Health Care Work)

2 reviews

ILR Press, 2006

Captivating, Contraversial and Critical for Nurses to read!
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...

Suzanne Gordon

ILR Press, 2006

Wish I would have known
I read the book and am going to graduate from a nursing program in June of '08. I was so disenchanted as to what went on in the book as I see it going on when I am in clinicals. I probably wouldn't have picked nursing as my number one profession after being in the hospital setting and it should be a read the first quarter of new nursing students. The book is very factual, as to what I have ...

Suzanne Gordon

Pantheon, 1983

BALLET STUDENTS AND THEIR PARENTS MUST READ THIS BOOK!
Everything is NOT beautiful at the ballet.... This is a no-holds barred look at the dark side of ballet. If you thought "Little Girls in Pretty Boxes" was horrifying, this book is twice as shocking. Parents need to read this book in order to see what kind of life is in store for their child pursuing a career in dance. Ballet's stringent requirements for female dancers demand a breastless, ...

An exceptionally useful and beautiful work of art!
This is an absolutely fascinating book on the Caribbean - the content, the writing and the photography are all superb. In addition to its stated purpose of being an architectural guide, it surpasses most travel books in the useful information it imparts to anyone visiting this delightful area or wishing to learn more about its rich culture and heritage.

Authors, Buresh & Gordon help nurses understand the deliberate dimantling of their profession/healthcare and give them clear tools (with examples) on how to reclaim their most valued existance.
