Unignorable

If your job no longer feels sustainable—but you're not ready to walk away—this book is a place to start. UNIGNORABLE is for nurses who are still capable, still professional—and increasingly tired of carrying what shouldn't be theirs. This book looks at the parts of nursing work that rarely get named: professional gaslighting, managing difficult doctors, absorbing pressure to keep the day from falling apart, and navigating systems that rely on nurses to compensate for its flaws. Burnout is part of that picture—but it's not the whole story. UNIGNORABLE explores how these pressures show up differently in hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers, how they wear people down over time, and how nurses can begin making decisions that lead to work that feels better, not just different. Inside, you'll find: How professional gaslighting shows up—and how to recognize it Managing difficult doctors without bringing their behavior home Dealing with co-workers or supervisors who make work feel harder than it needs to be Recognizing when you have more options than you've been led to believe This is not a book telling you to quit. And it's not a book telling you to tough it out. It's a clear, grounded guide for nurses who want to understand what's happening at work—and make thoughtful decisions about changing it, or deciding what comes next.
