Intensive Care: The Story of a Nurse
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This book is true life. I have been a nurse for many years and have seen so many of the same things. It touched my heart and warmed my soul. Reminded me of myself and why I became a nurse! A must read for all nurses new and seasoned!!
What a great book!

I read this book while in nursing school, and I just loved it. I am out of school now, and I see the things that Echo describes in her book on a daily basis. Just great! I recommend it to everyone, not just nurses!
Superb reading for anyone with a heart

A friend of mine had told me about Echo Heron, so I decided to pick up 'Intensive Care'. Am I glad I did! As a pre-nursing student, I love to soak up anything about Nursing and Healthcare in general so I excited about this book. This book exceeded my expecations by far. The earthiness and Echo's witty and sharp humor make this book a very satisfying book to read. I even had a family member read this book and they loved it just I like did. It doesn't matter if you are involved in healthcare or not, you will be touched immensely by this publication.
The real story of nursing
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book is excellent. I happened across it in Barnes & Noble and decided to get it along with Critical Care Nurse. It brought back such fresh memories of nursing school. The stories in here to some may sound made up, but believe me it is the real world. I don't think I have ever laughed so hard while reading a book and I couldn't put it down until the end. You just don't understand it unless you're a nurse but all will enjoy the laughter and heartache of hospital work. The only thing I didn't like was the strong language. She could have toned it down a bit. Otherwise, a must read for all nurses. I look forward to reading the rest of her work.
