Zero Days in Safety: One Nurse's Journey into Trauma and Recovery

In this book, the author, a hospital administrator, nurse and doctorally-prepared nurse educator, experiences a traumatic accident that threatened his well-engrained personal narrative of safety. This sudden and traumatic externalization of his locus of control caused a loss of independence and disturbing emotional upheaval. As a seasoned professional well-versed in hospital operations, compliance, and quality improvement, he in turn recalls in vivid detail his experiences in the emergency room's trauma bay, inpatient trauma unit, and outpatient therapy. Even as he lay in intractable pain, the author's Faith, knowledge of nursing theory, and knowledge of the QSEN Competencies provided comfort and opportunities for continuous reflection. In tandem, the author, a male nurse, discusses his entrée into the profession of nursing, flirts with the covert-and often over-misandry he experienced by instructors and colleagues, ultimately celebrating the care he received from former students as well as a diverse group of established nurse professionals.
