When we fell most alone, nurses remind us that we are not alone at all.
The Courage to Care covers stories from all aspects of nursing. From a teen with stab wounds is treated by the critical-care team; his school nurse visits, and he drops the bravado, to a community mental-health nurse choreographs support for a man suffering from severe depression, to a pregnant woman loses frightening amounts of blood following a car accident; it is a military nurse who synchronises the emergency department into immaculate order and focus.
The Observer says, ‘A love letter to her profession; her admiration for her colleagues shines through every story’.
The Sunday Express says, ‘Magnificent…timely and resonant’.
Christie Watson is a writer and Professor of Medical and Health Humanities. She is Patron of the Royal College of Nursing Foundation.
