Critic Reviews

James Patterson's account of the twilight world between life and death that nurses inhabit is one of the most moving things I have ever read. In their own bullet-straight words, these heroes describe the pain, the love, and the brutally hard work of trying to save people's lives. I could not stop reading it and when I was done I felt like I was changed forever. (Sebastian Junger, author of Freedom, Tribe, War, Fire, and The Perfect Storm)
As a trauma neurosurgeon, I have witnessed the compassion, the work ethic, and the selflessness of our nurses in countless situations. They save our lives every day and represent the true life blood of any hospital. Their stories are given the respect they deserve and are captured beautifully in ER Nurses. (Sanjay Gupta, MD, neurosurgeon and chief medical correspondent, CNN)
ER Nurses captures the beating heart of nursing: the lives lost and saved, the hard tragedies and unbelievable miracles, and how every day nurses show up, give their all for patients, and then do it over and over and over again, all while holding onto their empathy and humanity. Readers will be stunned and moved by this no-holds-barred portrait of nurses' essential and deeply meaningful work. (Theresa Brown, PhD, RN, author of the New York Times bestseller The Shift: One Nurse, Twelve Hours, Four Patients' Lives)
These readable bite-sized snippets represent a significant caregiver demographic of women and men who exhibit the labour-intensive focus, compassion, dedication, and passion necessary to be an emergency nurse. From the heartfelt to the tragic, this book displays the nursing profession in all its unsung glory. A timely tribute to the modern-day heroes of medicine, conveyed in their own words.
Thriller legend James Patterson has compiled hundreds of interviews for his poignant and timely nonfiction recounting of the dramatic, dangerous, and professional lives of America's nurses.
James Patterson and Matt Eversmann have captured the essence and drama of what it takes to be a nurse. Sometimes heartbreaking and sometimes frightening, give this book to someone who is thinking of being a nurse or is one already.

A great read

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I disliked the fact that it ended and I so want to heat more please.

All the groups of nurse's storytelling was amazing

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
This book just related ER stories, no storyline. To be fair, I am a nurse so this was not at all interesting to me. Might be of interest to non nursing/medical readers.

Disappointing

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
