Publisher's Summary

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.
