Employing a hermeneutic approach, Rashotte explores the perspectives from which NPs view their reality as they undergo a transformational journey of becoming--a journey that is directed both outward, into the world, and inward, into the self. We learn how, in their struggle to engage in a meaningful practice that fulfills their goals as nurses, their purpose was hindered or achieved. In large part, the story unfolds in the voices of the NPs themselves, but their words are complemented by descriptive passages and excerpts of poetry that construct an animated and powerful commentary on their journey. Poised between two worlds, NPs make a significant contribution to the work of their colleagues and to the care of patients and families. \u003ci\u003eThe Acute-Care Nurse Practitioner\u003c\/i\u003e offers an experiential alternative to conventional discourse surrounding this health care provider's role\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Judy Rashotte\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1927356261\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781927356265\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Athabasca University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.70w x 0.70d","brand":"Judy Rashotte","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48448021332223,"sku":"9781927356265","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9f930440-943c-4765-bcaf-aeff5ba698ee.jpg?v=1777236363","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-acute-care-nurse-practitioner-judy-rashotte-9781927356265","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
