Review by Dwight Hunter
Dispatches from the front lines of nursing. This book is a curated collection of essays from nurses all over the country in first-person narratives. The book is divided up by types of narratives: day shift, night shift, flight shift, and thank you. The book is packed with gut-wrenching scenes.
James Patterson has put together brief essays in this book from multiple nurses with diverse backgrounds and memorable experiences. The stories are compelling - in turn, funny, amazing, heart breaking, and heart stopping. A great read for anyone not in the medical field who wonder what nurses truly do. Great short stories for nurses to help remind them why they do what they do.
This collection of personal stories include a short bio and pictures. Not only the compelling stories makes this book relevant, but the connection of nurses from varied backgrounds makes it feel like a national connection in a career helping people.
I recommend this book for everyone, but especially, for our students in the allied health field to read about the chaos of emergency rooms, the work itself, and the connection that all nurses have.
