Rating: 5 out of 5

I purchased this story because I am a nurse and I teach nursing.  I was interested in hearing another nurse's story about their assimilation into the nursing role.  The catch was that this is also a male nurse and it is in England.  I found that starting practice as a nurse in American or England, it really does not matter, the story is the same.  I enjoyed all of the author's stories, his assimilation was similar to mine despite the fact that I am in America and female.  I think being a new graduate is always a transition, a reality shock, it takes time to master skills and learn to deal with people.  There are good times and not so good times, but it is great to become a nurse and give back.  Michael Alexander did a great job in telling his story and I will recommend that all of my students, both males and females read this book!
