Order an author-signed copy of Saving Lives and support The Truth About Nursing!

The Truth About Nursing announces the publication of the new edition of its leader's book Saving Lives: Why the Media's Portrayal of Nursing Puts Us All at Risk. With striking examples and an irreverent style, the book explores nursing stereotypes from TV shows to the news media, and it explains how these images affect real-life decisions about nursing. The book also offers a comprehensive plan to help everyone improve nurses' image--and public health.

Saving Lives has won high praise from many leaders in nursing and the media. Written by Truth executive director Sandy Summers and co-author Harry Summers, the 416-page book was released in September 2014 from Oxford University Press. All royalties from the book go directly to support The Truth About Nursing.

With your support, we can teach the media that nurses are science professionals who play a vital role in improving health. That is knowledge that decision makers must have if nurses are to get the resources they need to resolve the global nursing shortage.

Registered Nurses are the critical front-line caregivers in health care today. For millions of people worldwide, nurses are the difference between life and death, self-sufficiency and dependency, hope and despair. Yet a lack of true appreciation for nursing has contributed to a shortage that is one of our most urgent public health crises. The nursing shortage has claimed countless lives and threatens to overwhelm the world's health systems. It is no exaggeration to say that our future depends on a better understanding of nursing. We need your help to change the way society thinks about nursing.

The Truth About Nursing is an international non-profit working to help nurses meet that challenge. We tell the media and the public what nurses really do. We analyze the media's treatment of nurses and organize them to respond, helping nurses stand together to end harmful depictions and encourage good ones. Better public understanding of nursing will lead to more social, political and financial support for the profession. That will relieve the nursing shortage and improve the health of all.

In our imperfect state of conscience and enlightenment, publicity and the collision resulting from publicity are the best guardians of the interest of the sick.

-- Florence Nightingale
