Atlanta, GA, April 12, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The novel approach to nursing education is now available for the iPhone and iPad
When you think of nursing education, you may imagine medical textbooks, complicated graphs and loads of acronyms. Well, Amy Glenn Vega has transformed nursing education by taking interpersonal issues in healthcare and crafting them into steamy page-turners students can read for fun, for learning and discussion. Her first novella, Lions and Tigers and Nurses: A Nursing Novella about Lateral Violence is available today for purchase and immediate download from Amazon for the Kindle, PC, MAC, iPhone and Ipad.
Amy is a Health Care Educator at the Southern Regional Area Health Education Center in Fayetteville, NC, who has put lots of different theories into practice to reach students over fifteen years. What’s the best way to help teach nurses who are in-demand, underappreciated and overworked? Amy Vega has taken the novel approach. “I’d see lots of nurses sipping coffee and taking a brief escape behind the pages of a novel. Then it dawned on me – what if learning something new was as easy as reading a story?”
Amy’s first novella, Lions and Tigers and Nurses, focuses on the lateral violence that is so rampant in healthcare today. According to the American Nurses Association, 60% of workplace assaults take place in healthcare related services. “If lateral violence continues to erode the workforce at this rate, our quality of health care will be dramatically compromised,” said Amy Vega. “In my book, I tried to illustrate some of the major learning takeaways about lateral violence in a way that is entertaining and memorable.”
With so much concern over nursing retention, colleges are adopting Lions and Tigers and Nurses as a textbook to help students prepare for a potentially tough transition into the nursing workforce. Lions and Tigers and Nurses has been described by nursing educator, Jeanne Ray Hardee, as “a wonderful tool to teach rising health care professionals of the future. Special things come in small, precious packages sometimes.”
Nursing Novellas is a series that helps nurses learn more about dealing with major interpersonal issues in health care using the fictional cast at Dogwood Regional Hospital in North Carolina. Inside a whirlwind of work, family and love-lives in crisis, the nurses of Med-Surg South find ways to come together and overcome their personal and professional challenges. Nurses learn through reading and sharing these fictional experiences, and then through discussing them with others.
Lions and Tigers and Nurses and the second novella, Broken Heart, which is about coping with change and loss, are available from Pritchett & Hull Associates, Inc., Amazon and all major booksellers. Lions and Tigers and Nurses is available from the Amazon Kindle Store and from NursingNovellas.com. Continuing Nursing Education credit is offered and provided by the Southern Regional AHEC. Amy Glenn Vega is an active blogger and her website, nursingnovellas.com, is a place that nurses, nursing students and anyone working in or interested in healthcare can discuss and learn about the major issues and challenges facing healthcare and healthcare professionals.
Amy Glenn Vega is not a nurse, nor does she play one on TV. However, she has worked closely with nurses over the past fifteen years in her career as a health care educator and a former Emergency Medical Technician-Intermediate. She obtained her Masters in Business Administration and Masters in Health Administration at Pfeiffer University, and her Bachelor of Science in Health Education at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. She has served in multiple roles in health care education, to include community health, patient education, and staff development. A gifted storyteller, Amy has combined the power of story with teaching in the educational fiction series, “Nursing Novellas.” Amy is also a North Carolina Registered Health Educator and was recently appointed as a Fellow to the Academy of Health Care Education Professionals.
Southern Regional AHEC is approved as a provider of continuing nursing education by the North Carolina Nurses Association, an accredited approver by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation.
