"Britney Daniels is a Black, masculine-presenting, tattooed lesbian from a working-class background. For the last five years, she has been working as an emergency-room nurse. She began Journal of a Black Queer Nurse as a personal diary, a tool to heal from the day-to-day traumas of seeing too much and caring too much. Hilarious, gut-wrenching, and infuriating by turns, these stories are told from the perspective of a deeply empathetic, no-nonsense young nurse, who highlights the way race, inequality, and a profit-driven healthcare system make the hospital a place where systemic racism is lived. Whether it is giving one's own clothes to a homeless patient, sticking up for patients of color in the face of indifference from white doctors and nurses, or nursing one's own back pain accrued from transporting too many bodies as the morgues overflowed during the pandemic, Journal of a Black Queer Nurse reveals the ways in which care is much more than treating a physical body and how the commitment to real care-care that involves listening to and understanding patients in a deeper sense-demands nurses, especially nurses of color, must also be warriors"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

But I've seen the dangerous shit, the mean nurses, the cut corners, the lies about care performed, the egos that were prized above patient safety and patient experience. I've seen management tell staff to do more with less, and cover up the incompetence and casual cruelty of physicians rather than suffer consequences. I've seen the claim that it's too hard to discipline nurses who put patients at risk. I've seen out of date practices still being used.
All of this takes a toll on your soul as you struggle to do the right thing, for yourself and your coworkers and your patients.
Reading the words of someone else on the same journey is a balm to that wound. Knowing you're not alone in the fight is important. Community is essential.
For full disclosure, I work with Britney and she is a delight to work with. ( )
