Book excerpt: Anger can be a fact of life for nurses -- due to features such as short staffing, hostile staff interactions, difficult patients, or personal stresses. And anger can take its toll in fatigue, physical health problems, depression, and substance abuse. Can we transform our anger and pain into something positive? Sandra Thomas thinks so. In this book she discusses the many sources of anger for nurses, the consequences of its mismanagement, and specific strategies for channeling anger into personal and professional empowerment. The book is enlivened by many case examples from the author's extensive original research.
