review 1: I'm a nurse and read this on Kindle as a freebie. The nursing stories are real, to the point and some I could relate with deeply. I'm not sure it is for everyone but as a nurse I'm always interested in what others think and feel in the profession. I have to say sometimes I cried, and often was amazed to see someone felt the same way I have. Insecure in ability, sometimes guilt over missing something that I should have seen, and always impacted by the patients and their families. Sometimes even more than anything I may have done for them.
review 2: Admittedly, I decided to read this book when I saw that it was offered for free on the Kindle. I was nursing a sleepy baby and wanted something new to read while she dozed off...Although this book was clearly not ... morepenned by professional authors, it is still quite good. I enjoyed it, and I appreciated the glimpse into the lives of nurses in the ICU. It was far less gory than I expected, and instead focused almost exclusively on the emotional and relational aspects of the job. I'm really glad that I gave it a try. less
