Nursing is more than a career; it is a calling and one of the most
important, fascinating and dangerous professions in the world. As
the frontline responders battling traumas, illnesses and aggression
from surprising sources, nurses are remarkable. Yet contemporary
literature largely neglects them. In THE NURSES, New York
bestselling author and award winning journalist Alexandra Robbins
peers behind the staff only door to write a lively, fast paced
story and a riveting work on investigative journalism. Robbins
followed real like nurses in four hospitals and interviewed
hundreds of others in a captivating book filled with joy and
violence, miracles and heartbreak, dark humour and narrow
victories, gripping drama and unsung heroism. Alexandra Robbins
creates sympathetic, engaging characters while diving deep into
their world of controlled chaos the hazing ("nurses eat their
young"); sex (not exactly like on TV, but it happens more often
than you think); painkiller addiction (disproportionately a problem
among the best and brightest); bullying (by doctors, patients and
others). The result is a page turner possessing all the twists and
turns of a brilliantly told narrative and a shocking, unvarnished
examination of our health care system.
