Synopsis
A New York Times bestseller. &“A funny, intimate, and often jaw-dropping account of life behind the scenes.&”—PeopleNurses is the compelling story of the year in the life of four nurses, and the drama, unsung heroism, and unique sisterhood of nursing—one of the world&’s most important professions (nurses save lives every day), and one of the world&’s most dangerous, filled with violence, trauma, and PTSD. In following four nurses, Alexandra Robbins creates sympathetic characters while diving deep into their world of controlled chaos. It&’s a world of hazing—&“nurses eat their young.&” Sex—not exactly like on TV, but surprising just the same. Drug abuse—disproportionately a problem among the best and the brightest, and a constant temptation. And bullying—by peers, by patients, by hospital bureaucrats, and especially by doctors, an epidemic described as lurking in the &“shadowy, dark corners of our profession.&” The result is a page-turning, shocking look at our health-care system.
