4.0 out of 5 stars
Worth reading,
By A New RN (Maryland, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nurse (Mass Market Paperback)
I would recommend this book to any nursing student or new graduate. It deals with nurse-doctor as well as nurse-patient relationships in great detail with descriptions of actual individuals and case histories. While certain things have changed in the 25 years since the book was published, it still makes for informative and entertaining reading.

A Nurse With A Personal Opinion,
This review is from: Nurse (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is about a head nurse on a medical-surgical floor in a hospital.Some of the information would give someone a good idea about the hussle and bustle of the nursing field and it's stresses.A lot of this was the woman's 'personal' feelings about nursing and not all nurses feel the way she does or would or would not do some of the things she did. She is also 29 y.o. and this was written in 1978. A WHOLE LOT has changed since then. Don't believe this book is the gospel on nursing because it's not. It does give a good basic over-all view but is more a journal of a 'new' nurses experience.

One of my all-time favorites - and still in print!,
By kohoutekdriver8 "kohoutekdriver8" (Midwest) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nurse (Hardcover)
I first read this as a teenager and briefly considered becoming a nurse because of it. I found it once again at a used-book sale and re-read it to see if it was still as funny, sad, uplifting, hopeful, etc. as I thought it was back then.
It was, although a lot of the treatments Ms. Benjamin describes are long obsolete and doctors can get in serious trouble nowadays for acting the way some of the doctors in the book did - screaming at nurses, sexual comments in public, etc. And I saw a copy today at Waldenbooks! 8)
