Emergency!: True Stories From The Nation's ER's by Mark Brown | 9780312962654 | Paperback | Barnes & Noble

This really isn't nursing specific but it was SO ENTERTAINING! I read this on a 5 hour flight. I laughed, cried, and cringed. Definitely for the ER/CCU nurse!

"Bed Number Ten" Was mandatory reading in our program and is a true story. "And If I Perish" and "We Band of Angels" are a couple of my favorites also true stories. If you like fiction Echo Herron(not sure I spelled that correctly) has some pretty good novels. Hope you enjoy.

I've got "House of God" sitting on my shelf. Haven't read it yet, but it's supposed to be a classic for all medical people.

It's a quick read and a good one.

Tilda Shalof is great. I also loved "Trauma Junkie" by Janice Hudson.
