Oh Sh*t, I Almost Killed You! A Little Book of Big Things Nursing School Forgot to Teach You

This is a frank, irreverent guide for nurses who have just left school and are learning the job the hard way. Its premise is simple: the first duty is to avoid causing harm, and the second is to refuse to be pushed around. Written in a cheerful, sweary voice, it collects practical lessons that the classroom tends to skip, from dealing with difficult patients and demanding colleagues to keeping your own sanity on a long shift. Readers who have stood at a bedside wondering what to do next will recognise plenty here.
