1. Critical Care: A New Nurse Faces Death, Life, and Everything in Between by Theresa Brown
I can't seem to keep a copy of this book. I recommend it to all of my preceptees (new RN grads in the Versant Residency) and have lent it out to more than one!
2. On Death and Dying: What the Dying Have to Teach Doctors, Nurses, Clergy and Their Own Families by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, M.D.
One word: timeless
3. Becoming Nursey by Kati Kleber
I have followed the author Kati's blog since I was in nursing school. (We won't do the math on how long that has been.) Kati is smart, hilarious, and the kind of nurse we all want to work with. I also recommend this book to my preceptees.
4. I Wasn't Strong Like This When I Started Out: True Stories of Becoming a Nurse by Lee Gutkind
This is an excellent read for all nurses, regardless of experience or specialty. It's also one that can be read over and over and over again.
5. The Good Nurse: A True Story of Medicine, Madness, and Murder by Charles Graeber
This book is about Charlie "The Angel of Death" Cullen, the New Jersey nurse who killed over 300 of his patients. I
have had this book on my reading list since it was first published. One
of these days I will have some spare time to read for pleasure...
What is your favorite nursing book? What are you reading right now?
