I don't know what to make of the book. The writing is sometimes fairly dense research and sometimes anecdotal. The anecdotal the stories of the four nurses is the most interesting but is a problem to me because although the four nurses are so very different, if their names weren't continually in front of me I wouldn't know which is which.

From her many years as a Hospice counselor comes Maria’s elegant and beautiful outlook on death, seeing it not as a scary and fearful thing but as life’s last adventure. Through her writing, she hopes to teach others how to deal with death and how to see it as a peaceful transition rather than a terrifying destination. Since nurses will inevitably have to deal with death during the course of their careers and since it is important to know how to teach patients to deal with death, this book should absolutely be on the bookshelf of every nurse. Even though this book was penned, literally, by Florence Nightingale in 1859, it is still highly relevant to the career of every nurse today and deserves a place at the top of every nurse’s reading list.

New nurses are automatically not trusted on the floor and must earn their stripes from nurses that have been doing this for years.

With 190 beds, Pines Memorial serves a highly educated, wealthy population with a large percentage of academics, retirees, and nursing home residents.
