I'm Not a Baby!
As the years go by, the members of Leo Leotardi's family continue to think he is just a baby. "I'm not a baby!" Leo Leotardi insists, but his family just won't listen. Leo doesn't want runny spinach ("Poopie, " he says); he wants potato salad, like everyone else. But what the family (including Leo's older siblings) don't seem to notice is that, while Leo may be the baby of the family, he isn't actually a baby anymore. His bonnet is getting too tight, his clothes are bursting at the seams, and he doesn't need to take naps! Will the poor boy have to go to college wearing booties?
The Practical, Moral, and Personal Sense of Nursing
The Practical, Moral, and Personal Sense of Nursing is the first explicitly philosophical articulation in English of the essence of nursing from a phenomenological perspective. The authors interpret nursing as competencies and excellences that are exercised in an "in-between" situation characteristic of nursing practice (the practical sense) which fosters the well-being of patients (the moral sense) within the nurse-patient relationship (the personal sense). This directly challenges the current tendency to reconstruct nursing by using theories drawn from the behavioral and natural sciences, and shows why nursing must be reformed from within. Bishop and Scudder stress the use of phenomenology to articulate an actual practice, showing the unique capacity of phenomenology to illuminate actual situations and to generate fresh understandings of old problems.
