{"product_id":"9781514467633","title":"Labor Intensive: A Nurses's Journal","description":"This true-to-life journal encompasses two years in the author’s early nursing career spent working side-by-side with physicians-in-training as part of their residency program in Women’s Health. The setting is a high-risk obstetrics unit at a large metropolitan hospital serving the city’s poor and immigrant women and their infants. Doctors and nurses are described responding to an array of emergencies and a crushing workload in this labor-intensive setting. The medical situations are eye openers—the interpersonal dynamics even more so. There are plenty of ethical dilemmas to traverse for the staff, and a measure of humor to leaven the stark circumstances. The work also describes the personal journey of the author as she morphs from a shy and insecure new nurse to a strong and assertive person able to act on behalf of patients who are in a highly vulnerable position.","brand":"Xlibris US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47108705485040,"sku":"9781514467633","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781514467633_p0.jpg?v=1763725919","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781514467633","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
