55 Unfiltered Truths Every Nurse Knows - Hardcover

Nursing school taught you how to save a life, but it forgot to mention the other 90% of the job.

There's a moment in every nurse's career, usually about three months after starting your first job, when you realize your textbooks were just an elaborate prank. Nobody mentioned that you would become fluent in alarm sounds or that your relationship with coffee would border on codependency. They definitely didn't tell you that bathroom breaks would become a luxury rather than a basic human right.

In 55 Unfiltered Truths Every Nurse Knows, Brent DelRosario pulls back the curtain on the real curriculum nobody gave you but everyone needs. From the superhuman bladder you develop to the profound silence of being present with a dying patient, this is a raw, honest, and hilariously relatable guide to surviving the bedside.

Inside this unfiltered orientation, you will discover:

• 55 honest, story-driven chapters about the realities of nursing life
• Laugh-out-loud moments every nurse will instantly recognize
• Emotional truths about grief, burnout, and compassion fatigue
• Hard-won wisdom for new nurses just starting their journey
• Validation for experienced nurses who've felt it all

Whether you are a nursing student looking for an unofficial orientation to reality, a new nurse feeling completely overwhelmed, or a seasoned veteran who needs to know you are not alone, these stories will make you laugh until you cry.

Nursing is harder than you think and more rewarding than you can imagine. It is finally time someone told you the truth.

Funny, honest, moving, and completely unfiltered.This is the book nursing culture needed.
