BUNDLE: Grace Notes on Nursing and RN: Resilient Nurses—Front Line Stories from the COVID Pandemic.
by John Graham-Pole, M.D.
After fifty years of teaching and practicing medicine at four universities, British-trained medical doctor John Graham-Pole pays heartfelt tribute to the nursing profession in Grace Notes. Reflecting on his earliest teaching experiences, he writes: “Two nurses—one very senior and one very junior—became my first teachers during my apprenticeship in the art and science of caring for those in need.” Grace Notes is an important, necessary, and deeply affectionate reminder of the profound and lasting impact nurses have on both their patients and colleagues.
by Dr. Carol Flegg
When the world needed them most, they showed up. This is what it cost them—and what brought them back.
The COVID-19 pandemic pushed nurses to a breaking point that the public rarely saw: the exhaustion, the grief, the moral injury of caring for the dying while the systems around them strained and faltered. RN: Resilient Nurses gives those experiences a voice. Through intimate storytelling and striking collage art, nurse researcher Dr. Carol Flegg weaves together five nurses’ pandemic journeys—including her own—to reveal what resilience truly looks like on the front lines. An exposé featuring honest accounts of women who were shaken, who struggled, and who eventually found their way through. Drawing on arts-based research, RN: Resilient Nurses explores how creativity became both a tool for healing and a way of bearing witness—and asks urgent questions about what nursing education and healthcare institutions must do differently to sustain the people who sustain us all.
For nurses, for educators, for anyone who has ever relied on the courage of a stranger in scrubs—this book is a reckoning and a roadmap.
