The Nurses Are Innocent: The Digoxin Poisoning Fallacy
by Dr Gavin HamiltonGavin Hamilton’s research shows that a toxin found in natural rubber might well have been the culprit in the 43 babies’ deaths at Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children in 1980–81. In 1980-81, 43 babies died at Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children from a supposed digoxin overdose. Serial murder was suspected, leading to the arrest of nurse Susan Nelles. In order to clear Nelles’s name, an investigation was launched to find an alternate explanation. No one on the Grange Royal Commission of Inquiry had expertise in diagnosis. The post-mortem diagnosis of digoxin poisoning was based on a single biochemical test without knowledge of the normal values. Gavin Hamilton’s extensive research shows that a toxin found in natural rubber, a digoxin-like substance, might well have been the culprit in the babies’ deaths. He clearly demonstrates that explanations other than serial murder account for the cluster of infant deaths at HSC. What can be learned from this black stain on Canada’s judicial system? One lesson certainly stands out: we can’t ever again allow a group of unqualified amateur diagnosticians make life-and-death decisions about such important matters as potential serial murders.
The Nurses: A Year of Secrets, Drama, and Miracles with the Heroes of the Hospital
by Alexandra RobbinsA New York Times bestseller. “A funny, intimate, and often jaw-dropping account of life behind the scenes.”—PeopleNurses is the compelling story of the year in the life of four nurses, and the drama, unsung heroism, and unique sisterhood of nursing—one of the world’s most important professions (nurses save lives every day), and one of the world’s most dangerous, filled with violence, trauma, and PTSD. In following four nurses, Alexandra Robbins creates sympathetic characters while diving deep into their world of controlled chaos. It’s a world of hazing—“nurses eat their young.” Sex—not exactly like on TV, but surprising just the same. Drug abuse—disproportionately a problem among the best and the brightest, and a constant temptation. And bullying—by peers, by patients, by hospital bureaucrats, and especially by doctors, an epidemic described as lurking in the “shadowy, dark corners of our profession.” The result is a page-turning, shocking look at our health-care system.
The Nurses’ Guide to Psychotherapy: A Reference Book for Nurses Providing Psychotherapy
by Stacey Roles Kamini KaliaThis book is a guide for nurses who plan to incorporate psychotherapy into their field of work. Mental illness continues to be on the rise with increases in anxiety disorders, suicidality, and depression among others. Psychotherapy is a well researched intervention that helps individuals to improve and maintain their mental health and well-being. Recently in Ontario, Canada the proclamation of the controlled act of psychotherapy enabled certain members of six professional colleges, including Registered Nurses, to initiate and implement this controlled act. Registered Nurses exist in every nook and cranny across the world, from urban to rural and remote regions and can provide a far reach and excellent care, bridging the gaps for those needing access to psychotherapy services. Nurses have the skill, ability, legislative and regulatory rights to initiate the controlled act of psychotherapy. Nurses can provide psychotherapy treatment and interventions to address the growing needs of the population who experience mental distress. This book is unique in that the target audience is not only the experienced or expert nurse but was also created for nurses looking to shift the primary focus of their career to psychotherapy, for undergraduate student nurses, and for newly graduated nurses pursuing psychotherapy as part of their field of work. This book will build upon the experiences of the nurse client relationship that has always been foundational to nursing and will discuss nurses clinical expertise and knowledge in relation to a holistic approach to care when implementing psychotherapy interventions.

The Nursing Profession and the Marriage Bar: Crisp White Uniform
by Breda McTaggartThis book explores Ireland's Marriage Bar, examining its impact on women's lives and the predominantly feminised nursing profession. Information on the history of nursing and the evolution of the nursing profession tends to focus on critical events or key persons who shaped the profession. What is less known and explored is the women nurses' work experiences or how the world outside the ward affected the nurse and the nursing profession at moments in time. This book takes one of these moments in time, the period of the Marriage Bar, and examines the women nurses' lives and the nursing profession during this period of Ireland's history. It does so by adopting a historical perspective and a lived experience perspective of women who had to negotiate this practice. Fifty years on from the Bar removal, as remnants of this time in Ireland's history remain, legislative and constitutional change are required to right the wrongs of the past.
