The more infamous moments of my nursing career are going to be stuck in my brain forever and there are a lot of patients who made such an impression on me (both good and bad) that I felt compelled to write about them. How did you decide what to include and what to leave out?Īs the book basically follows a chronological order, some events and experiences jumped out at me more than others. Nursing can be a messy business, and the coffee stains are particularly apt. The first version of the cover design was very clean (my scrubs never looked that pristine) so the designer dirtied it up a bit, added some gore, and I think it's much more representative of my nursing experiences now. What did you think of the cover design the first time you saw it? (At first glance I wasn't sure if the blood spots were real or part of the design and was too scared to check, lol!). I'm really touched that readers have made the effort to contact me and let me know how they felt about Get Well Soon! As a first time author, someone who swears a lot and given the nature of the topics covered, I wasn't sure how the book would go down, but the feedback has been really positive. Some have been from nurses saying that they can really identify with the stories and others are from people who have no personal ties to nursing but ended up reading the book and liked it. I've never written to an author to let them know I liked their book, but I should! Social media is pretty great in that regard. Well, I think! I've received a lot of lovely emails from people, which really amazes me. How has Get Well Soon! My (Un) Brilliant Career as a Nurse been received by readers and the medical community?
Thanks for joining me at Carpe Librum and congratulations on the publication of your memoir last year. After contacting Kristy to tell her how much I enjoyed her memoir, she was kind enough to agree to an interview. Her memoir was moving and funny and I didn't hesitate giving it 5 stars in my review.
Recently I reviewed Get Well Soon! My (Un) Brilliant Career as a Nursewritten by Australian Kristy Chambers.
