Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
A vital and timely book about inspirational nurses and the bravery of patients and families, from the best-selling author of The Language of Kindness.
Nurses have never been more important. We benefit from their expertise in our hospitals and beyond: in our schools, on our streets, in prisons, hospices and care homes. When we feel most alone, nurses remind us that we are not alone at all.
In The Courage to Care best-selling author Christie Watson reveals the remarkable extent of nurses’ work. A community mental-health nurse choreographs support for a man suffering from severe depression. A teen with stab wounds is treated by the critical-care team; his school nurse visits and he drops the bravado. A pregnant woman loses frightening amounts of blood following a car accident; it is a military nurse who synchronises the emergency department into immaculate order and focus.
Christie makes a further discovery: that, time and again, it is patients and their families - including her own - who show exceptional strength in the most challenging times. We are all deserving of compassion, and as we share in each other’s suffering, Christie Watson shows us how we can find courage too. The courage to care.

A wonderful book
I saw Christie discussing her book on Sky Arts Bookclub, and bought the book as it sounded really interesting. I have so enjoyed listening to it. A beautiful book, beautifully narrated.

A good look into both sides of a nurses life
A range of nursing stories and insights into the professional and personal life of a nurse. I found some of the stories moving and quite emotional. It was interesting and well narrated and I would recommend it. The 4 star rating was purely because it's not quite the book I'm used to and I'm more into medical stories rather than glimpses into people's personal lives. There was nothing wrong with the look into the authors personal life, and it transitions in and out very well, but it's just not my favourite type of book.
