It is 10:15 on a Tuesday night and you are standing in your kitchen doing the math. He was supposed to be off at six. The last thing you got was might be a bit.

You can diagnose almost anything with your hands. You still lost the interview in the first five minutes. Not on competence. On terminology. Somebody asked you the difference between a CRAC and a CRAH, or what N+1 means when a unit trips, and the conversation was effectively over — while a candidate with half your field time answered it and got the job.

Call Light: Patients, Codes, and Twelve-Hour Shifts is the record of what she found on the other side. This collection of stories, inspired by her many years as a nurse, moves through the rooms most people never see: the quiet before a code, the chaos ...
