Compassion in Nursing: Is It Necessary?

Compassion in Nursing: Is It Necessary? is a book designed to ignite nurses to be more willing to share their compassion. But it is also for the lay people in the communities and cities who have or will experience health care to help them understand why compassion may not be evident in nurses every day. Compassion is truly a part of the caring-healing model of nursing. However, nurses are human as well and they can only take the day-to-day encounters with death and dying and healing the sick for so long without developing compassion fatigue. This book will hopefully open the eyes of many people, as it did mine in writing it.
