They save our lives every day, and we’ve never heard their stories. The life-or-death intensity of working on the front lines, from America’s greatest unsung heroes.

"The compassion, the work ethic, and the selflessness of nurses...are given the respect they deserve and captured beautifully here." (Sanjay Gupta, MD, neurosurgeon and chief medical correspondent, CNN)

"James Patterson's account of the twilight world between life and death that nurses inhabit is one of the most moving things I have ever read." (Sebastian Junger, author of Freedom and The Perfect Storm)

Around the clock, across the country, these highly skilled and compassionate men and women sacrifice and struggle for us and our families.

You have never heard their true stories. Not like this. From big-city and small-town hospitals. From behind the scenes. From the heart.

This book will make you laugh, make you cry, make you understand.

When we’re at our worst, E.R. nurses are at their best.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“As a trauma neurosurgeon, I have witnessed the compassion, the work ethic, and the selflessness of our nurses in countless situations. They save our lives every day and represent the true life blood of any hospital. Their stories are given the respect they deserve and are captured beautifully in E.R. Nurses.” (Sanjay Gupta, MD, neurosurgeon and chief medical correspondent, CNN)

"James Patterson's account of the twilight world between life and death that nurses inhabit is one of the most moving things I have ever read. In their own bullet-straight words, these heroes describe the pain, the love, and the brutally hard work of trying to save people's lives. I could not stop reading it and when I was done I felt like I was changed forever." (Sebastian Junger, author of Freedom, Tribe, War, Fire, and The Perfect Storm)

“E.R. Nurses captures the beating heart of nursing: the lives lost and saved, the hard tragedies and unbelievable miracles, and how every day nurses show up, give their all for patients, and then do it over and over and over again, all while holding onto their empathy and humanity. Readers will be stunned and moved by this no-holds-barred portrait of nurses' essential and deeply meaningful work.” (Theresa Brown, PhD, RN, author of the New York Times best seller The Shift: One Nurse, Twelve Hours, Four Patients' Lives)

50 years a NICU nurse. You nailed it

So easy to identify with the medical trauma and drama because it is told in he first person. The concern for patients and their families applies to many of the nurses and doctors with whom I have worked. These are believable accounts of unbelievable medical crises

Excellent Book

God Bless; each of the healthcare professionals that are continuing to work and give so much of themselves each day.
You are so compassionate about being a nurse.

I am a retired R.N., who graduated from a hospital school of Nursing and I am very blessed that I graduated from a hospital school of nursing, where our clinicals were with real live people and not mannequins. We started clinical hospital training within 2 months of our first year.

Perhaps the method of training Nurses needs to require more real hands on training.

My Favorite People

As a recently retired ED Physician, I’ve got to say thank you to the many ER Nurses with whom I’ve practiced for decades.
These personal stories represent the tip of the iceberg. Their heartfelt sacrificial gifts to their fellow human beings are only occasionally recognized. I have joined them in many of their most difficult trials, and so appreciate this tribute to the nurses to whom we all owe so much.
Their lives impact all of us in some way. We owe them our deepest gratitude for the love and expertise they give us.

Truth!

Having been a nurse for 50 years,this book is right on! To all my colleagues, keep on keeping on.! God Bless

Fantastic!!!!!!!!

Absolutely LOVED it!!! I've been looking for a book like this for a very long time. Well worth the wait 🙂

Thank you !! You helped save my life!

I just completed E.R. Nurses…simply heartwarming and such a meaningful experience. My personal experiences with the nursing profession is confirmed in this excellent book. Having had 5 heart procedures, including a week on a ventilator after 3x bypass, and a recent heart attack, my nurses pulled me through. And a special shout out to a very special friend, Nurse Joy, for what she does day in day out for her patients. Thank you Joy for what you do! You are simply the best.
Enjoy the book!!

Thank you narrators.

Thank you James Patterson, Matt Eversmann, and Chris Mooney for writing this book. Thank you ER nurses everywhere.

Very well done!

As an ER nurse myself, I fully enjoyed this book! It’s a good representation of our work.

Very interesting and informative. Loved the book.

Makes a person realize what a nurse goes through each day they are on duty. They share the most time with patients and really get to know them and understand how they feel.

very good listening

This book made me feel as if I were in the moment! Intriguing! Well done!
