the shift by Theresa Brown
4.0
This was a great book. A very quick read. An interesting look at the world of nursing through one 12 hour shift.
Four patients may not seem like a lot to tend to but as you follow Theresa through her day, you see just how busy a nurse is. There are so many things they need to make a priority at the same time. Who needs me more right now? What needs to be done first? How can I make this person more comfortable? How can I help this family?
I enjoyed how the author used literary references throughout her descriptions. Since she was a professor before becoming an oncology nurse, it makes sense that she sees the world through that type of view.
