A book for Real Nurses!

I have had the distinct pleasure of knowing Lynn Wieck as a professor, friend, and colleague. Lynn is a tremendous cheerleader for nurses everywhere. She writes her encounters from the heart. Sometimes I laugh with her, other times I cry, but mostly she makes me laugh. She helps us poke fun at the idiosyncrasies of "the system," changing technology, and ourselves. She reminds us of precious encounters with our patients and what they have taught us. Lynn guides us on a journey to rediscover why we became nurses in the first place! Thank you for another great literary contribution!
