Got this book because I was curious. What could someone have to say about nursing that was sooo long? Cannot believe some of what I heard. Not really remarkable things about weird patients, but more so of the lack of respect and compensation for what I view as being a very good job fraught with all kinds of responsibilities. Then, have to be honest, because I was ashamed to say that I too have had the thought of \"Why don\'t you go to med school rather than JUST being a nurse?\". Am ashamed that I ever even had those thoughts. Fortunately, the book set me straight. And lucky for me, a mom at a dinner for one of my kid\'s activities happened to tell a group that she was a nurse. I immediately thanked her, told her about the book, and thanked her again for all that she does. Was totally worth it! She was beaming! I will now make it a practice to thank nurses and buy them coffee whenever they are in line at a coffee shop just like I do for policemen and firemen. You are all angels!
