Dedicate a Major Nursing Book to Your Favorite Nurse

Published

On National Nurses Week 2015, New York Times bestselling author Alexandra Robbins will release her next riveting book: THE NURSES: A YEAR WITH THE HEROES BEHIND THE HOSPITAL CURTAIN. Alexandra is looking to the allnurses community to provide names of your real life hero nurses to be included in the Wall of Heroes. Heroes are nurses who inspire you such as your mother, coworker, teacher, relative, supervisor, preceptor, friend.

To include a nurse in the book's Wall of Heroes, please click on the link below to access the submission. Submit the completed form by December 10 with the name of a nurse who inspires you, the nurse's degrees, and state. There is no catch, no cost, and no contest: We simply want to celebrate nurses.

To learn more about the book, which represents the voices of hundreds of nurses Robbins interviewed across the country, visit http://www.workman.com/features/nurses While the book possesses all the twists, turns, and satisfactions of a brilliantly told narrative, it is also a celebration of a unique profession that deserves so much more recognition than it gets.

Alexandra was winner of the Best Nonfiction Book of the Year (Goodreads Choice Awards) for her book, The Geeks Shall Inherit The Earth
