Practicing nurse and New York Times columnist Theresa Brown invites readers to experience not just a day in the life of a nurse but all the life that happens in just one day on a hospital cancer ward. In her skilled hands, as both a dedicated nurse and an insightful chronicler of events, we are given an unprecedented view into the individual struggles as well as the larger truths about medicine in this country, and by the end of the shift, we have witnessed something profound about hope and healing and humanity.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Just A Shift submitted by afreeney on July 22, 2018, 10:15am Very well written book. This book gives an interesting insight into the day of a nurse. As a healthcare professional, though, I'm not sure what made the author choose this shift specifically. I believe that this is written for a layperson rather than a nurse. I kept waiting for something extraordinary to happen, and it never came. It just felt like a coworker telling me about their day. This isn't THE Shift. This is A Shift.
