Provides the foundational concepts and facts that a nursing assistant needs to function competently in the workplace, be it a long-term care facility, an acute care facility, or a home health agency. Because students enrolled in "essentials" courses -- 1) have limited time to read/prepare for class and 2) many have difficulty reading, (learning disabilities, ESL students) -- we have included only the most basic, essential information, with the understanding that this foundational knowledge will be supplemented by classroom instruction and on-the-job training.

History

"The Struggle for Black Equality is an arresting history of the civil-rights movement from the groundbreaking Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision through the growth of strife and conflict in the 1960s to the major issues of today. Harvard Sitkoff offers not only a brilliant interpretation of the personalities and dynamics of civil rights organizations -- SNCC, CORE, NAACP, SCLC, and the others -- but also a compelling study of the problems that continued to plague the African-American population at the close of the twentieth century: while Jim Crow had gone, poverty, big-city slums, white backlash, politically and socially conservative policies and prolonged recession made economic progress for the vast majority of blacks an elusive, perhaps ever more distant goal"--Back cover.
