I was wondering if anyone has read any of the books written by Echo Heron. She is a gifted writer, and I have loved her books (Intensive Care, The Story of a Nurse; Condition Critical, The Story of a Nurse Continues). In these books, she chronicles the trials and tribulations of nursing school as well as her 20 years of practice in CCU and ED units. Although her non-fiction books are awesome, I've heard that her fiction lacks the pizazz that her other books have. Has anyone read these books? What did you think of them?
She is very critical on management though. If anyone knows why she's so critical of management, could you please post about it? I'd like to know about the "other side of the coin", as I'd like to consider a post in management one day.
Not to give it away, **STOP READING IF YOU DON'T LIKE SPOILERS**
But she quit nursing after her second book and went to go live on an island on Montserrat. Even though she has written a 3rd non-fiction book (Nurses on the Front Line - or something like that), I don't believe she has returned to Nursing. Does anyone know what she's doing now? Did she ever return to nursing?
If you'd like a great read about Nursing, I highly recommend her books. She's a very gifted writer and I've enjoyed them very much. I'm just wondering if other people have read them, especially other nurses and what they thought.
