So, I've been a nurse for about a week now. However, I've been a nerd my whole life. Having said that, I love research. If there is something I'm interested in, I research the heck out of it. One thing I'm looking for, though, are nurses' opinions on how to best grow in nursing. Anyone raf any good books applicable to this subject? 0 Likes
laKrugRN Specializes in Cardiac, ER, Pediatrics, Corrections. Jul 4, 2014 Emergency!: True Stories From The Nation's ER's by Mark Brown | 9780312962654 | Paperback | Barnes & NobleThis 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! 0 Likes

bellcollector Jul 5, 2014 "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. 0 Likes
