Purchase options and add-ons

For more than a decade, From Silence to Voice has been providing nurses with communication tools they can use to win the resources and respect they deserve. Now, in a timely third edition, authors Bernice Buresh and Suzanne Gordon focus on how nurses can describe and frame their work to seize unprecedented opportunities to advance their profession and lead improvements in health care systems. The authors, both journalists, argue that because nursing needs the support and cooperation of others to fulfill its potential, it is critical that nurses communicate the full scope of nursing practice. Nurses must go beyond describing nursing in terms of dedication and caring and articulate nurses' specialized knowledge and expertise. From Silence to Voice helps nurses explain their contributions to patient safety, satisfaction, and outcomes. It shows how nurses can communicate with various publics about important aspects of their work, such as how they master and employ complex medical technologies and regimens, and how they use their clinical judgment in life-and-death situations. "Nurses and nursing organizations," the authors write, "must go out and tell the public what nurses really do so that patients can actually get the benefit of their expert care." This comprehensively revised and updated third edition helps nurses use a range of traditional and social media to accurately describe the true nature of their work. Its analyses of images that are projected by nursing campaigns and its detailed guidance in helping nurses construct positive and powerful narratives of their work make From Silence to Voice a must-read in nursing schools and organizations and by individual nurses in all areas of the profession. Because nurses are busy, many of the communication techniques in this book are designed to integrate naturally into nurses' everyday lives and to complement nurses' work with patients and families.

Oh my goodness, a must read for all nurses. Nurses use their knowledge and skills to practice the art and science of nursing, which benefits patients and their relatives. This book helps us to understand how to tell the general public and colleagues that we work with, exactly what we do. No meaningless headlines, just facts about how patients and their families need expert nursing care.

Great book! I like that non-nursing based journalist take a fresh look at how nurses present themselves and how nurses are viewed in general. There is much that all nurses can do individually to present ourselves to the public in a way the represents our expertise as well as our caring and compassionate care. Using this book as a text in the nursing courses I teach at my university. I challenge you to use it as well!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book should be required reading for all in or interested in professional nursing.
Reviewed in the United States on 7 May 2018

This is a publication ALL nurses and hopefully many interested in how nurses are portrayed, the history of nurses, will read. There are so many facets to the profession covered. It will make you question anyone in the medical profession, excluding those working with children, who dress up in childish prints, etc. Images of nurses with nurse caps should be banned, other than for historical references. Excellent reading.
