The diagnosis, according to Buresh and Gordon, is silence. By being silent, we miss the opportunity to show ourselves as consequential in the delivery of healthcare. The remedy for silence, according to the authors, is voice—our voices raised in conversation first and foremost with our families, friends, and patients, and also with the general public.\u003c\/p\u003e (Nursing Spectrum) \u003cp\u003eThis is an invaluable book for all nurses, especially those who are proud of being nurses and who have always wanted to make others understand our passion.\u003c\/p\u003e (Nursing Standard)\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis is an invaluable book for all nurses, especially those who are proud of being nurses and who have always wanted to make others understand our passion.\u003c\/b\u003eâ•  \u003ci\u003eNursing Standard\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFor more than a decade,  \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom Silence to Voice\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e has been providing nurses with communication tools they can use to win the resources and respect they deserve.\u003c\/b\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom Silence to Voice\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis 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 \u003ci\u003eFrom Silence to Voice\u003c\/i\u003e a must-read in nursing schools and organizations and by individual nurses in all areas of the profession. \u003cb\u003eBecause 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. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cb\u003ePart I.
