Review of Kit Wilson, RN
"Kit Wilson, RN," is a work of fiction by Beth E. Heinzeroth White, a certified pediatric clinical nurse specialist. This book was written to mimic what the life of a nurse is about while giving encouraging tips on overcoming the challenges of the profession.
The story in this book details Kit's wins, losses, and cries as she navigates the life of a resident nurse. Get a copy of this great book to learn about the battles she fought to become a resident nurse.
The things I like in this book are many. I love how the author started each chapter with thought-provoking quotes. I learned from this book that to succeed as a nurse, you need to put in an extra level of inquisitiveness, and not everything a nurse learns in the classroom is applicable in the hospital.
Some concepts I learned in this book are therapeutic communication, charting, and circadian rhythms. Also, taking time off work to converse with colleagues can provide an avenue to learn from one another's working experience. Erin, Kim, and Mary had this type of gathering.
This book taught us to correct bad ethics. Kit tried, at the slightest opportunity, to correct the wrongs she felt were inherent in the nursing practice. Wrongs like a lack of empathy that she felt were inherent in the profession.
One good thing I love about Kit, the main character in this book, is her inquisitiveness about learning at the slightest opportunity. For example, when she overheard Abe praising the nurses who attended to his mom's neck injury, Kit wanted to know what the nurses did differently to get such praise. Sometimes, fresh employees tend to show a know-it-all attitude at work. From this book, you will understand why it is necessary to learn from those already on the job. I learned the difference between empathy and compassion in this book.
Kit learned through the hardships of residency to be a better human. One piece of advice I will take from this book for my job is to never allow personal feelings to affect my relationships with others. Kit’s dad gave her this advice. This book was flawlessly edited; there is no part of it that I dislike. I confidently recommend this book, which gets a five out of five stars rating, to nurses.
The concept of imposter syndrome is well captured in this book. I will recommend this book to entry-level employees, as the knowledge here will be useful in navigating and gaining balance on the job.
