Reviews of The Shift
“What makes Brown’s story shine are the touching and sometimes bizarre moments that make real life in a hospital stranger than fiction.”
- The Boston Globe, September 2015
“This riveting account of a day in the life of a highly competent and compassionate but overtaxed bedside nurse provides an up-close, insider’s view from the perspective of one of the worker bees of the medical world.”
- Barnes & Noble, September 2015
“Through her clear and compelling narrative, readers gain a new appreciation of what is involved with being a nurse on the front lines of modern health care and the colossal responsibility they have in caring for very sick patients during these highly regulated, complicated and confounding times.”
“An engrossing human drama composed of interlocking stories of patients and their families, doctors and nurses, aides, chaplains, social workers, and others who take care of sick people in a modern-day hospital.”
“I don’t usually write book reviews. I think of most books like food: what one person finds delicious may be less savory to another. But I’m making an exception because this book is an accurate and well-written portrayal of nursing (at last!).”
