In this book the author explores his journey from a carefully-constructed and well-engrained narrative of safety into emotional upheaval and despair resulting from a traumatic accident. The author, an administrator, nurse, and nurse educator, also presents his entree into nursing, flirts with the covert-and often overt-misandry he experienced from instructors and colleagues, ending on a hopeful note as he received care from many of the students he educated. In tandem, the author celebrates his Faith as well as nursing theory and the QSEN competencies, all of which had a positive impact on his outlook and care.
