Called to Care?
Health Care, Burnout, and the Search for Meaningful WorkCindy L. Cain
Rutgers University Press, 2026
Health care workers are burned out. Health care leaders know that workers are burned out but do not yet have the right tools to fix the problem. Called to Care? argues that we can mitigate burnout by examining what is most meaningful about health care work. Using interviews and observation of a wide range of health care workers, Cain shows that workers who care for our most vulnerable adults find their work to be meaningful when they are able to connect to the work and make progress on something that matters. In most cases, these meaningful experiences are also consistent with better care for patients. And yet organizational practices, policy environments, and cultural meanings get in the way of meaningful work, creating burnout. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Called to Care? illustrates that workplaces can and should align meaningful work experiences with quality care for patients.
No More Patients
A NovelSandra Cavallo Miller
University of Nevada Press, 2026
Once a free spirit, Vivian celebrated at Woodstock in her thirties and Burning Man in her eighties. Now she spends her time feuding with Marianne Dunwitty, her new rival from the Scrabble Klub. To help resolve her identity crisis, Vivian begins recording reflections on her life, revealing a deep despair that drives her to take on the Klub members, scorn the new cloud-watching man next door, and snoop into a suspected neighborhood homicide.
Norah and Vivian must find ways to deal with their out-of-balance lives, and—most importantly—each other. Picking up where Out of Patients left off, No More Patients is a heartfelt, humorous sequel that stands on its own, about the struggles of healing both patients and relationships alike.
