The Shift: One Nurse, Twelve Hours, Four Patients’ Lives

by Theresa Brown

This book takes us through the day of an oncology nurse’s 12-hour shift, from the time she leaves her home for work until the time she leaves work for home.

It’s obvious that the truly nurse cares for her patients and this was a really good read. I will caution that since this is an oncology ward, some patients don’t get to leave the hospital.

Despite the subject matter, this was an easy, compelling read and I highly recommend this book especially if you enjoy a view from the inside.

A solid 4.5 out of 5.
