Price: $4.99 USD. Words: 57,350. Language: Commonwealth English. Published: December 30, 2023 . Categories: Nonfiction » Health, wellbeing, & medicine » Medicine » Nursing / issues
In 46 years spent nursing, I saw great advances, a vast increase in knowledge and one huge fault. Paperwork. Anyone can justify extra research, observations, statistics etc but no one can justify what time it takes away from the real job of nursing. What it replaces. What doesn't get done because the paperwork is judged more important. I suggest why this happened and how it can be reversed.

This is the account of the theft (plagiarism) of my eBook Alien Alliance, the first in a series and my first publication. It is a 'how to' guide as to how to resolve this, how to reduce the chances of it happening and a warning to be vigilant. It is also a warning of an increasing problem and a very distressing one. The second part is a description of the series and what is coming next.
