The Shift: One Nurse, Twelve Hours, Four Patients' Lives

The Shift: One Nurse, Twelve Hours, Four Patients' Lives

â€œAn engrossing human drama . . . The Shift is one nurse's story, but it contains elements of every nurse's experience."â€”The Wall Street Journal

Practicing nurse and New York Times columnist 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 hospitalâ€™s cancer ward. In the span of twelve hours, lives can be lost, life-altering treatment decisions made, and dreams fulfilled or irrevocably stolen. Unfolding in real timeâ€”under the watchful eyes of this dedicated professional and insightful chronicler of eventsâ€”The Shift gives an unprecedented view into the individual struggles as well as the larger truths about medicine in this country. By shiftâ€™s end, we have witnessed something profound about hope and humanity.
