This book is a memoir, the story of my life in nursing, mostly psychiatric. It contains case histories, tragedies and comedies. Detailed, are some of the changes I have seen in nursing. Principally, nurses are burdened by unnecessary and overwhelming paperwork at work and it follows them home. Paperwork makes nursing expensive and inefficient. Less patients are treated at far greater expense. This wasn't the case when I first started nursing. In my opinion. I give the causes, reasons, motives and methods as to how this began and continues and the how as to reversing it. Most importantly, nurses need to make the changes. Not managers or 'experts' or academics or committees.
