The book uses a system called GIFTS which is an acronym for tools which allow nurses to speak their mind, stand in their power and be a change agent to improve patient care. When nurses use their GIFTS, they are able to protect their license. The book discusses numerous case studies of real life situation of nurses who did not use their GIFTS and found themselves before the state Licensing Boards. It shows which GIFTS the nurse was not using so that other nurses do not make the same mistakes.
