read a good book about nursing homes and nurses

Published

recently read a good book about the trials and tribulations of nurses in the LTC. Name of the book is "Don't cry over spilt bed pans." It made me laugh one minute and cry the next. Very good book, would recommend it to any one who works in nursing homes or is thinking about putting a love in a nursing home. Represented a very different but honest view that is not always seen or realized.

My book that I took to the beach this summer, I read Life Support. It was about a Home Health Nurse Practioner, Oncology RN, and Clinical Nurse Specialist on Med-Surg. It was really interesting, they would share a typical day, patients that touch their heart, etc .. then literally a wave came and the book was drenched and sandy. lol.. I'll finish it one of these days.
