"In this anthology of stories told from their personal experiences, the voices of nursing professionals are heard," reported PW. "The insiders' views here give a human dimension to nursing, dispel some of its mythology and stereotyping, and open appealing vistas for those considering nursing as a career."

YA-- Students considering medical careers will be interested in the personal accounts of 46 nurses who care for patients in different sites, including the military, prison, psychiatric wards, and hospices. Although the male and female nurses frankly discuss the very real problems of low pay, understaffing, and burnout, they also emphasize that it is nurses, not doctors, who are trained to provide total patient care and even act as patient advocates. Besides providing a look at many facets of the profession, Kraegel raises the issue of reduced health services due to the nursing shortage.
