5.0 out of 5 stars Very Funny!, May 14, 2002
By A Customer
A wonderful mix of lite and dark humor. Representative of the real world of a bedside nurse. Great book for nurses who work in the trenches. If you are a hospital administrator, I don't think you would like it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Holy bedpans, Nurse Jane! You are so funny!!!, January 11, 2005
Gosh, if you don't have a sense of humor you just might not make it inside the walls of a modern medical center. So, steep a hot cup of chamomile tea, extract yourself from the support hose, kick off the Dansko's and let your professional decorum melt away, and pick up this book to unwind. This author zero's in with a keen delivery of the satirical arts. It speaks not only to life on the inside, but brings to light some of the challenges nurses, the front line patient advocates, battle each day with administrations that have managed the nursing out of nursing and the health out of health care. Nice job! A much needed moment of humor in an intensely rewarding, and sometimes frightening, often under appreciated and usually under compensated profession.

Nice work! Very funny! Highly recommended reading for the bright eyed student to the jaded professional.
