About this product

Product Information

A New York Times bestseller. "A funny, intimate, and often jaw-dropping account of life behind the scenes."-- People Nurses is the compelling story of the year in the life of four nurses, and the drama, unsung heroism, and unique sisterhood of nursing--one of the world's most important professions (nurses save lives every day), and one of the world's most dangerous, filled with violence, trauma, and PTSD. In following four nurses, Alexandra Robbins creates sympathetic characters while diving deep into their world of controlled chaos. It's a world of hazing--"nurses eat their young." Sex--not exactly like on TV, but surprising just the same. Drug abuse--disproportionately a problem among the best and the brightest, and a constant temptation. And bullying--by peers, by patients, by hospital bureaucrats, and especially by doctors, an epidemic described as lurking in the "shadowy, dark corners of our profession." The result is a page-turning, shocking look at our health-care system.

Reviews
"A funny, intimate & often jaw-dropping account of life behind the scenes.." -- People "...a detailed, sympathetic, and eye-opening portrait of how nurses work, deal with stresses, and fulfill their mission of serving patients...An insightful perspective on the realities of crucial health care providers." -- Kirkus Reviews "After interviewing hundreds, Robbins narrowed her focus to the personal narratives of four nurses.... Their stories are compelling in every way." -- Bookpage "...dishes eye-opening material." -- Publishers Weekly "Anyone who has ever set foot in a hospital--or might in the future--would do well to read this book. With page-turning prose, Robbins pulls back the curtain on a world rife with joy and challenge. It's brutally honest, emotional, and most of all, a paean to nurses--the people who help us live, die, and survive every day." -- Rachel Simmons, author of Odd Girl Out "Nurses are the unseen warriors of the hospital system, part of a 'secret club' of heroes with its own rules and codes. They're also strong-willed, flawed human beings made of flesh and (unafraid of) blood, rendered here in stunning detail. This fascinating and compulsively readable book even has a few tricks that could save your life. First tip: Don't get sick in July." -- Mickey Rapkin, author of Pitch Perfect "A fascinating and somewhat alarming examination of the contemporary nursing profession...Robbins not only shows, she tells in this revealing expose of the modern day state of nursing. It is an eye-opener not to be missed." --EarlyWord "Readers... will find themselves guided by an excellent stylist and a first-rate mind." -- Houston Chronicle "Alexandra Robbins writes reality TV in book form." -- New Jersey Star-Ledger "A rich, fast-paced book about heroic, neglected professionals; editor's recommendation." -- Barnes and Noble "The Nurses' is exciting and honest, from admission to release. Robbins...busts myths, shows the inner workings of emergency rooms, offers golden advice, and explains behind-the-scenes events and why nurses deserve way more kudos than they get." -- The Daily News
