Doc, I Think I'm Having A Heart Attack! (Kindle Edition)

Doc, I Think I'm Having A Heart Attack!
Doc, I Think I'm Having A Heart Attack! (Kindle Edition)
By Dr. Samuel Krakow

Review & Description

This book could easily save your life! It's part of the "Doc, I Think I Have…” series of medical articles, in which Dr. Krakow explains common medical conditions in simple, easy to understand, terms.

A heart attack is a serious, frightening, and potentially life-threatening, condition. Over a million Americans have a heart attack (also known as a myocardial infarction, or MI) each year. It’s one of the leading causes of death in this country. It’s tricky business because heart attacks can occur without any symptoms (the so-called “silent heart attack”). Conversely, the symptoms of a heart attack can also be symptoms of a whole host of other conditions. Included are links to Web sites that explain the technical terms Dr. Krakow uses in more detail. The purpose of DOC, I THINK I'M HAVING A HEART ATTACK! is to give you guidance as to what to do if you think you’re having a heart attack, and to give you a reasonable idea of what to expect when you are treated for it.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
How Will I Know Whether I’m Having A Heart Attack?
So I Might Be Having A Heart Attack? What Should I Do?
Where’s The Chest Pain Coming From? What’s The Cause?
What Else Could It Be?
What’s Going To Happen To Me?
Now What?
How Can I Avoid A Heart Attack?

Florence Nightingale (Heroes of the Faith) (Paperback)

Florence Nightingale (Heroes of the Faith)
Florence Nightingale (Heroes of the Faith) (Paperback)
By Sam Wellman

Review & Description

For Florence Nightingale (1820--1910), following Christ's example of service meant tending to the medical needs of the sick and injured. The famous "Lady with the Lamp," one of the most influential women of nineteenth-century England, is generally considered the founder of modern nursing. The best-known aspect of her life--nursing wounded soldiers at Scutari Hospital in Turkey during the Crimean War--comprised, in fact, a very small part of her fifty-year career, but provided the springboard from which it all began. Her good deeds to "the least of these" helped elevate nursing to the respectable profession it is today. Read more

Minding the Bedside- Nursing from the Heart of the Awakened Mind (Paperback)

Minding the Bedside- Nursing from the Heart of the Awakened Mind
Minding the Bedside- Nursing from the Heart of the Awakened Mind (Paperback)
By Jerome Stone

Review & Description

Who are you when you show up at your patient's bedside? Where is your mind? Are you fully present and focused on the person in front of you, or are your thoughts elsewhere, mired in the myriad day-to-day distractions we all face?

A distracted mind is common, and it results in our patients not getting from us what they need and deserve most and what we are inherently capable of providing: an attentive and compassionate presence based on a mind that is undistracted.

When we as caregivers approach our patients with a presence based upon mindfulness, awareness, and compassion, that presence helps our patients to find peace within their own mind and confidence in us as their caretakers.

In discussions on meditation, work environment, and mind-body research, and by presenting techniques on thoughts and feelings, this book is a guide to changing how we work with our mind to become a more focused and compassionate human being, freeing ourselves to become present in ways we've never known!

Review & Description

Now You Can Learn The Study and Strategy Secrets That Helped Me Pass the First Time!

Are you struggling with preparing for the Certified Hospice and Palliative Nurse (CHPN®) Exam and want to know how to really pass it? Then this is definitely the most important book you are buying today!

I was struggling with passing the CHPN® Exam and it seemed to me like I would never get it right.

All the info from 'Experts' only confused me more and more until I decided to quit doing the wrong things and only focus on what really worked!

You'll find in this book techniques that really work!

How much is Passing the Certified Hospice and Palliative Nurse (CHPN®) Exam worth to your career?

Could you imagine how would it be if all your passing the CHPN® Exam efforts really produced the results you've been struggling for?

This not like any other information you've ever read on passing the Certified Hospice and Palliative Nurse (CHPN®) Exam...

Not a study guide --- this book will give you a fresh perspective on how to study and more importantly, how to think through all the questions!

Why:

Simply, because everything in this report has been tried in real life and really works, period.

Just a few of the many things you'll discover reading this book:

My closely guarded secrets that you must possess if you want to become known as specialist registered nurse in hospice and palliative care.

The CHPN® is not your standard fare nursing exam! Master the material and learn how to think through virtually any question on the test.

Other "exam prep" sites and books also sell CHPN® exam "prep" material with numerous other study "guides", such as for police candidates, interior decorators, teachers, linguists, and various other professions - even alongside with the postal exam! This is the only book that was written by an actual CHPN® candidate who passed the first time!

A complete view at how I prepared, studied and retained information needed to pass in the least amount of time, presented in a quick, easy to read format. NO FLUFF! I'll show you what to do, how to do it, and when to do it. This alone could improve your odds of passing!

Beat test anxiety and put your energy into passing the test!

Choosing the best study partner (and it's not what or who you think!)

Gain all the credibility you could ever need with CHPN® certification, accredited by the American Board of Nursing Specialties.

Get motivated! Stop procrastinating!

What others have said......

… I thought it was very good. Your test taking skills specifically were helpful.
M. Debald, RN, Bridgewater, NJ

...I passed! Your report was very helpful because I did not know of anyone who had taken the test or was studying for it so when I was reading your report it was like you were talking to me. I made sure sure I knew everything you had bold faced in your report.
K. Wallace, RN, CHPN, Director of Nursing, Missoula, MT

Review & Description

"Notes on Nursing" is a classic by Florence Nightingale (the first "Modern Nurse). Florence Nightingale's methods were revolutionary in her time, and they form the basis for the techniques of patient management that have been taught ever since. "Notes on Nursing" is a great overview, in her own words, of Florence Nightingale's ideas on care, cleanliness, and the nursing process in general. Her directives are widely applicable today. First published in 1860, "Notes on Nursing" served as the cornerstone of the curriculum at the Nightingale School and other nursing schools established. It also sold well to the general reading public and is considered a classic introduction to nursing. Florence Nightingale spent much of her life promoting the establishment and development of the nursing profession and organizing it into its modern form. Anyone interested in the healthcare process, nursing, or notable women in history would do well to read "Notes on Nursing." Read more
