Reviews
In the United States, over two million registered nurses practice in surgical, clinical, home healthcare, and other branches of the profession. Finkelstein, managing editor of the Columbia University-Presbyterian Hospital School of Nursing Alumni Magazine, has compiled biographical vignettes of 19 nurses. Their accounts reflect experiences during the first year after graduation and reinforce the thesis that "the nurse can make or break the quality of health care." The contributors all attest to job satisfaction despite such problems as hospital politics and unsafe conditions. Although the book is more idealistic than realistic (personnel turnover plagues the profession), it is of interest, and encouraging, to young adults making a career choice.
