Code Junkie

By R. Brandon Bowen

Life as a nurse on an inpatient pediatric psychiatric floor can tear you down. The constant barrage of terrifying stories straight from the mouths of babes and the ever-present threat of violence--combined with long hours and a fleeting personal life--can lead one to dark humor, alcohol, and poor life decisions. At least, that's what Kevin discovered.Kevin O'Connor is the nurse in charge of a pediatric psych unit along with his best friend, Brian (a chauvinistic slacker), the girl Kevin is secretly in love with, Erin (who lives with her boyfriend), and Father Sarah, a chaplain in her 60s with whom Kevin shares a special, heartfelt bond. Though Kevin puts on the appearance of the consummate professional, he finds that his duties in the hospital are constantly bleeding into his life outside. Nightmares that tell a story of their own follow long nights at work when the alcohol can't displace them.
