Biography & Autobiography. Medical. Nonfiction. HTML:??Compelling and compassionate human drama. If you want to understand how modern medicine ticks, fasten your seat belt and spend a day in the hospital with Theresa Brown on The Shift.? ??Danielle Ofri, MD, author of What Doctors Feel 
 
In a book as eye-opening as it is riveting, practicing nurse and regular contributor to the New York Times Theresa Brown invites us to experience not just a day in the life of a nurse but all the life that happens in just one day on a busy teaching hospital??s cancer ward. In the span of twelve hours, lives can be lost, life-altering treatment decisions made, and dreams fulfilled or irrevocably stolen. Every day, Theresa Brown holds these lives in her hands. On this day, there are four.
Unfolding in real time under the watchful eyes of Theresa Brown??a dedicated nurse and an insightful chronicler of events??we are given an unprecedented view into the individual struggles as well as the larger truths about medicine in this country. By shift??s end, we have witnessed something profound about hope and humanity.
 
??This meticulous, absorbing shift-in-the-life account of one nurse??s day on a cancer ward stands out for its honesty, clarity, and heart. Brown . . . juggles the fears, hopes, and realities of a 12-hour shift in a typical urban hospital with remarkable insight and unflagging care. Her memoir is a must-read for nurses or anyone close to one.? ??Publishers Weekly, starred review
??An empathetic and absorbing narrative as riveting as a TV drama.? ??Kirkus Reviews
??I am filled with awe and gratitude for the work that the nurses like Theresa Brown do every day. She captures perfectly their central role in any patient??s life!? ??Susan M. Love, MD, chief visionary officer, Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation, and author of <

Good stories with solid background information ( )

I loved loved loved this book…but I may be biased. I’m a cancer survivor and I also work with Oncology patients. ( )

I admired nurses before, but I admire them even more after reading this account of a single 12-hour shift on an oncology floor. It's a job that demands everything, physically, mentally, and emotionally, and I'm amazed there are so many people willing to do it.

Nurses, you rock. ( )

Wonder what a day in the life of a nurse at a US based hospital is like (pre-covid)? This book tells you, since it's written by a nurse.

"This job would be easier if there weren’t such a narrow divide between being the canary in the coal mine and Chicken Little."

"The patients are the key to the entire shift: they can make a day intolerably frustrating or unbelievably rewarding, or occasionally both."

"I wish I had more time to sit and hold every patient’s hand. To really listen."

There are many details in this book, and some may glance over some of it as it doesn't take away from the book.

The author likes to include poets and poems in the book. She doesn't specifically say why, but my guess is because has a PhD in English.

There is a great wrap-up at the end that includes just about everyone the author talks about.

"And sometimes we don’t know how a patient’s story ends. People are “lost to follow up,” move, get treatment elsewhere, never again come to the hospital because they’re transferred to outpatient care. I often don’t know what happens to patients I’ve laughed with, cried with, gone toe-to-toe with a doc for, or talked at length with family members about."

"There will come a time when each of us will need a clean, well-lighted place that stays open all day and night, offering shelter from life’s storms." ( )

If you have any doubt that nursing is a tough job that only few people can handle. Read this book. You will learn a lot. The author shares her personal experience of working as a nurse and describes the patients and challenges she meets during a 12 hour shift. Great read! ( )

If all is supposition, if ending is air, then
why not happiness? Are we so cynical,
so sophisticated as to write off even the
chance of happy endings?

Prologue
A Clean, Well-Lighted Place

The buzz of the alarm surprises me, as it always does. I've been off for a few days and never go to bed early enough before a first shift back. That's the problem with being a night owl at heart.
Chapter 1
7:03am

I hit the floor at 7:03. It should be 7:00, but getting here almost late is my small, immature act of rebellion.
