‘I am delighted that we are publishing this book of stories; it is one way in which the QNI is helping community nurses to find their voice and articulate their value, describing their work as it is actually done, rather than as imagined,’ said QNI Chief Executive Dr Crystal Oldman.
‘By presenting the stories our goal is to bring the incredibly diverse, complex and challenging work of School Nurses to a much wider audience. The pandemic not only interrupted the original launch of the book in 2020 but has contributed to making nurses' work that much more challenging.’
Author Suzanne Gordon, who is also Assistant Adjunct Professor at the University of California San Francisco School of Nursing and an Affiliated scholar with the University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine’s Wilson Centre, said: "It has been both an honour and a pleasure to help school nurses write about their work. I hope that more members of the public, policy makers, healthcare administrators, and other nurses will listen to their voices and value their work."
