    A Real Nurse's Nurse
  

*by K***T on Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2010*

With less than a year working on a grueling medical/surgical unit and with aspirations of becoming a critical care nurse, Shalof's book lays out for me in black and white what we go through at the bedside and beyond. She has become the mentor I've yet to find and she makes me proud to be a nurse.The book is riveting and well written and I know everyone in it - even though I practice in the Southwest United States and she in Ontario. We all know all of these patients and their families and we all have our own lives and our own families to deal with. Shalof shares herself in an unimaginably honest way and she opens the doors to the nursing field's triumphs, frustrations, political absurdities, and the educational disparities found within. She's taught me a lot with this book and has validated many of my own feelings as a new nurse.I sped through this book and am now reading her next book, "The Making of a Nurse," where she delves more deeply into her own personal life, her nursing stint in Israel, and on through her registry jobs and back to the ICU. All of it incredibly honest, however, I wish she would have, or could have, maybe mentioned some of her early nursing mistakes - she must have made some. I can understand why in the litigious society we live in and I'm sure she doesn't want to scare patients, but it would be helpful for those of us who are still wet behind the ears to know how a real nurse handled real mistakes and how she overcame them, learned from them, and went on to become the seemingly great nurse she is.Five Stars - Well Deserved!

    awesome!!!! A++++++
  

*by L***S on Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2012*

I read every word of this marvelous book.  As a retired nurse I enjoyed her aspects toward nursing and her characters are very real.  The situations also were very believable.  The life of a nurse is very much as she depicted in her book.  I reveled in every word and could barely put it down, except when absolutely necessary.  The story lines were so true to life, some of which I experienced in my practice.  I worked in the NICU so faced many of her situations. I am very proud to be called a  nurse and anyone in the field should read this book.  I highly recommend it to anyone.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars

Good book, can make you laugh and cry all in a few pages. Gives some realistic good insight to ICU nursing. I enjoyed the read even though it was required reading for a class
