:rolleyes: I'm looking for a book about nursing. Do you know of any that are acurate or even just really good and interesting? Even just an author would be appricatied. thanks

GingerSue,

Is that a joke? I don't mean to be rude, because I've never read it but I've read other things by Martha. :)

I like Echo Heron's nonfiction works.

Hi Mary

it's a futures approach, about the rapid pace of change that is inevitable

as she asks us to consider future options, and to move into action

I'm almost done with Nickel and Dimed by B. Ehrenreich and love it! I'll have to check this out.

I enjoyed Unforgettable Faces: Through the Eyes of a Nurse Practitioner by Elizabeth Tate and Michael Pranzatelli. A very interesting read for an aspiring NP.

Right now I'm reading The Latino Patient by Nilda Chong. Not specifically about "nursing" but a good cultural guide for those who work with Latino patients and/or have an interest in learning about different cultures.

I'm actually reading Mercy by Echo Heron right now. Its a fiction book and I don't like it. Her non-fiction books are better?

I like Gesundheit by Patch Adams. M.D. It is about health care in general.

Good book!
