Alice Marlett

Life of a Nurse Alice Marlett

A complex healthcare system involving many moving parts often makes us forget what matters most is the people. Marlett presents her observations of the inner workings of the hospital system with a book that tells what it is really like to work in one as a nurse.

Not only does Marlett tell us her story, but she also tells us her patients' stories. And it's their stories that ultimately form the heart and soul of Marlett's book.

If I was considering a career change, this book might encourage me to become a nurse, or it might dissuade me from becoming a nurse. Either way, it's a no-holds-barred look at nursing. Alice Marlett's writing is so descriptive that readers will feel like they're on the hospital floor with her.
- Joe Wisinski, Readers' Favorite

I liked...the uncompromising honesty concerning cases of negligence in health facilities. Further, the book sufficiently explores the risks associated with understaffing in nursing.
