Nursing's values are in danger of becoming marginalised further precisely because that which nursing does best - providing care and helping individuals through the human trauma of illness - is difficult to measure, and therefore plays little, if any, part in official accounts of outcome measures. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDerek Sellman sets out the case for re-establishing the primacy of the virtues that underpin the practice of nursing in order to address the question: what makes a good nurse? He provides those in the caring professions with both a rationale and a practical understanding of the importance that particular character traits, including justice, courage, honesty, trustworthiness and open-mindedness, play in the practice of nursing, and explains why and how nurses should strive to cultivate these virtues, as well as the implications of this for practice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis original and thought-provoking book will be essential reading for nurses and nursing students, care workers, care commissioners, and many others who work in the caring professions.","brand":"Jessica Kingsley Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47579603042455,"sku":"9781843109327","price":3857.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781843109327.webp?v=1774909779","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/what-makes-a-good-nurse-why-the-virtues-are-important-for-nurses-9781843109327","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
