Five years ago when I was considering going back to school to become a nurse in my mid-40s, I read a book called The Shift that gave me an amazingly accurate view into a day in the life of a nurse. It was my great honor to sit down with Theresa Brown, the author of that book.
Her third book, Healing: When a Nurse Becomes a Patient came out in paperback last month. It's a wonderful read about health and caring, breast cancer, grief, and healing. We had such a fun discussion about being a new nurse, an old nurse, a cancer survivor, a writer.
