description: Upon completing my nursing degree and gaining employment what followed was truly a humbling and horrendous learning experience.The train wreck that was the start of her second career was far from anything she had experienced. The author a software engineer took a decade detour into nursing. Her perspective is unusual because she didn't begin her nursing career quite like other nurses. Unlike software engineering her nursing career placed her central to the core of the human condition.The book is a short memoir with stories of triumph despair integrity and much self-reflection. These stories were selected from her nursing journal because they are interesting medically but more so they gave the author a deeper insight into human vulnerability and trust.
