The Heart of Nursing - Paperback

by Lori J. Brooks (Author)

Lori Brooks spent over twenty years in nursing practice as both a registered nurse and nurse practitioner. In this book, she takes you through the care of some of her more memorable patients throughout the years from a first-person perspective and shares the emotional and physical toll that patient care takes on care providers. From confused patients running down the halls with their chest tubes bouncing on the ground to the complex care of a dying patient, she provides insight into the world of nursing that few are privileged to view. Some of these stories are funny and will make you laugh out loud, others are heart-wrenchingly sad, and you are invited to follow along as the author navigates through their care.
