Publisher's summary
Have you ever wondered what it's like to be a nurse? From a 6-time Top 10 in the USA author, this book is a collection of the most memorable moments from the careers of over sixty nurses. It covers nearly seventy years of practice from World War II to the present day. The extraordinary situations described here are the result of more than 1,000 years of hands-on bedside knowledge. The vignettes contain wisdom and insight gained the hard way, from long experience in the trenches (sometimes in actual trenches) performing tasks that range from the most humble to the most skilled. These true stories run the gamut from birth to death. They deal with everything from war, ER, ICU, to childbirth, pediatrics, adult care, surgery, home and homeless healthcare, the psych ward, oncology, the nursing home, and finally hospice. The sacrifice and service of these nurses--their courage, kindness, and determination--is breathtaking. If you've ever wanted to know what goes on behind the scenes of a hospital, you've come to the right place.

Story
Christie Watson spent 20 years as a nurse, and in this intimate, poignant, and remarkably powerful audiobook, she opens the doors of the hospital and shares its secrets. She takes us by her side down hospital corridors to visit the wards and meet her unforgettable patients. In the neonatal unit, premature babies fight for their lives, hovering at the very edge of survival, like tiny Emmanuel, wrapped up in a sandwich bag. On the cancer wards, the nurses administer chemotherapy and, long after the medicine stops working, something more important.

After his December 2003 arrest, registered nurse Charlie Cullen was quickly dubbed "The Angel of Death" by the media. But Cullen was no mercy killer, nor was he a simple monster. He was a favorite son, husband, beloved father, best friend, and celebrated caregiver. Implicated in the deaths of as many as 300 patients, he was also perhaps the most prolific serial killer in American history.

Caregivers need care, too. Nurses are some of the hardest-working people around. Our jobs are demanding in so many ways, both physical and mental. We choose this profession to care for others, but that often means we forget to care for ourselves. When we push ourselves too hard, something has to give. It’s no surprise that burnout is a common phenomenon. Nurse Burnout is a guidebook for healthcare professionals who are experiencing stress, anxiety, and lack of resilience.

Wonderful short stories
I listened to all these short stories on my drive from Salt Lake City to Flagstaff. It made the drive by go by so fast. I loved hearing so many stories from nurses with different backgrounds. I’m thinking about going to nursing school and this helped me get some great perspective.

Spot on with title, couldn't do it if you didn't care.
Enjoyed the personable feeling each nurse shared with experiences. How they still care after being cold cocked across the room by a patient, lied to by families, yelled at by doctors and bladder issues caused from no time to pee. Takes a special person to tolerate so much and go the extra mile literally to help ones in need that would fall through the cracks without them. You can only hope for a nurse to respectfully handle your corpse once your time has expired. Good read.
