Are you a nursing student who has started precepting in a hospital and thought, “Why didn’t I get taught this in nursing school?” Look no further!

As a nurse with more than 15 years of experience, I often precept nursing students, train new grads, or orient new nurses. Over and over, I hear the statement from them, “No one ever taught me that!” I get it. School is overwhelming, and the focus is on the basics.

This book addresses the gaps between the book world and the real world, where the work actually is. This audiobook is jam-packed with all sorts of lessons you will never learn in school. These real-world tips and tricks will shorten the learning curve all new grads go through.

Contained here are funny nursing stories to elaborate on several major nursing themes like superstitions, work-wives, night shift, gallows humor, teamwork, surveyors, and potlucks. This book cuts through generalities to the heart of what real nursing is like: the good, the bad, and the funny.

In this book you will discover:

  • How to speak "Nurse".
  • The ultimate nursing superpower.
  • What the biggest myth in nursing is.
  • What not to talk about with coworkers.

If you are in nursing school, if you’re a new nurse, or if you just want to be one someday, this book will teach you what it's really like. Scroll up and click the "Buy Now" button and get ready for a hilarious PRN dose of some honest nursing reality.

I enjoyed listening to this audiobook so much! The author not only informed me on so many different aspects of nursing but did it in a beautiful and humorous way. Honestly, this was so fun to listen to! There is so much more to nursing than what you learn in school. It's helpful to hear from experienced nurses on the little ins and outs of day-to-day work life. I would listen to anything this author would produce. I can't wait for her next book! Narrated very well by the author herself!

Such an enjoyable & informational book!

I have several friends that are nurses so after talking with them over the years and after my dadwas in the hospital for an extended stay several years ago I thought I had picked up a fair amount of info. This book proved me wrong!! The author does an amazing job adding just enough humor to lighten the serious and ofter very heavy subject of healthcare. Pick up this quick-to-listen-to book if you or a loved one is in the nursing profession, or if you are like me and curious to know more on the topic!

Insightful!
