The Nurses: A Year of Secrets, Drama, and Miracles with the Heroes of the Hospital by Alexandra Robbins
4.0
3.75 stars
I’ve enjoyed other books by Alexandra Robbin’s so decided to give THE NURSES a try. In it, she documents the lives of four nurses who live in the same metro area and work in emergency rooms. She shares the joys and triumphs they experience as well as the abuse they receive from other medical professionals and patients and shows that nurses are the work horses of the medical system.
Anyone who has experienced a hospital knows it’s the nurses who are the backbone of the medical care so that wasn’t news to me. I was surprised at some of the abuse nurses put up with, especially from other medical professionals. I found THE NURSES to be engaging but wish Robbins had included nurses who work in other areas.
