The diagnosis, according to Buresh and Gordon, is silence. By being silent, we miss the opportunity to show ourselves as consequential in the delivery of healthcare. The remedy for silence, according to the authors, is voice—our voices raised in conversation first and foremost with our families, friends, and patients, and also with the general public.\u003c\/p\u003e * Nursing Spectrum *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is an invaluable book for all nurses, especially those who are proud of being nurses and who have always wanted to make others understand our passion.\u003c\/p\u003e * Nursing Standard *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cb\u003ePart I.
