Product Description
Professionalism in Healthcare, 3/e addresses the special skills and attitudes that a  worker must possess to be recognized as a health care professional. This text stresses the idea that professional recognition isn’t automatically bestowed upon a person when he or she completes an educational program, obtains a degree or certificate, or secures a license to practice. Recognition as a healthcare professional has to be earned and maintained each and every day. Professionalism is a state of mind, a way of “being,” “knowing,” and “doing” that distinguishes "exceptional" workers from the "ordinary".  Enhancing professionalism has become a major challenge for healthcare educators, employers, and personnel. This text helps meet that challenge by describing the professional standards that apply to all health care workers–the “common ground” that everyone shares in providing the quality care and service excellence that today's patients deserve and demand. ...

Good book, HORRIBLE CD-ROM
I needed this book for a class.The book was fine but the CD that came with it was terrible.It didn't save or print my work.It kept freezing and an error message kept popping up.Once the error message popped up it would kick me out and every time I tried to get back on it it would keep kicking me out.Some other students in my class was having the same problem.

Professionalism in Health Care
I think the book is okay but too expensive for the size and the information it has. I already had a professionalism class that was basically the same thing, just not a medical version.I found Therapeutic Communications to be a better book.

  Very basic; For first time resume writers only
  I purchased this book to see examples of resumes for health and medical careers.In my opinion, these resumes are too lame to help anyone get a job.
  
  Notably, the book contains worksheets for resume writing and sample resumes.
  
  The worksheets are good only if you've never written a resume before.As an example, for example, the workbook for the Education section section suggests list the school, major, degree, and dates.Typically, people pick this up by looking at examples, rather than starting with a blank worksheet.
  
  The resumes presented are very basic.Some simply list education, work experience, awards, etc.Others tend to list tasks.Many times, there isn't a connection between the education and the job titles.Many omit the major in the education section.None are impressive.
  
  Resumes of today need to tell employers about your accomplishments (not just list job titles and ideally not just list tasks performed), what you can do for them (not just what you are looking for from them), and use the terminology of the field (not overdoing it but to show be credible) and have key words (as they are likely heading for a database).As this book doesn't meet the needs of the market, I do not recommend it.

Not All The Information You Need!
I was disappointed with this book.One of the fastest growing jobs was absent, that of Medical Assistant.All nurses make care plans.The description of the RN following doctors' orders, soothing, and caring is what the profession is trying to downplay now.Nurses work for nurses, not doctors, and are highly skilled team members.Prospects for Nursing School Instructors are excellent, not just good.There is not only a shortage of nurses but of faculty, and without faculty, fewer people can be accepted to school.All MDs and DOs do a residency if they want to treat patients, not just an "internship" with residency for specialization.All medical fields are specialties.The "internship" (old term) is just the first year of residency, PGY-1 (post-graduate year 1).For one description, you are encouraged to write for more information.Really?This book is in its third edition?What happened to the good ol' World Wide Web?A lot of information is missing in the school listing, too.New Jersey, for instance, has many schools offering training in health care careers.Additionally, the book is very dry and boring, in my view.You'd do better to buy (don't know if I can mention other titles) one with "explosion" in the title.The author specializes in work with celebrities and, I believe, should stick with this subject matter.

ALL THE INFORMATION YOU WILL NEED!
This is a great book for the person who is interensted in careers in the medical field. Details in ALOT of aspects of many careers. Full explinations of these careers.Packed full of all of the information youwill need. Well worth the money!GREAT BOOK ... Read more
