I really enjoyed this book! The Wisdom of Nurses by Amie Archibald-Varley and Sara Fung was a collection of stories and essays on a variety of topics related to nursing in North America. I appreciated the balance of memoir style writing by the authors about their own experiences and narrative writing about other nurses' experiences. Many topics were covered, from challenges working with colleagues, to inefficient procedures, to mental health and burnout and much more, the information was both anecdotal and informational giving great insight into the profession that can be enjoyed by people who know the field and also outsiders like me who are just interested in learning more. I loved that both of the authors were Canadian and could give context from a Canadian perspective, but also that some of the other nurses discussed in the book were American so there was an opportunity to see the similarities and differences between the countries. I also loved that both authors were POC and able to share their perspectives. The fact that both authors also worked in Labour & Delivery and Post-Partum also allowed them to comment on women's reproductive rights which I always find really important and valuable. Finally, I liked the little interludes about famous or little-known but worthy nurses and their contributions to the field. I learned a lot and also really enjoyed this book. I would definitely recommend it. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher, Harper Collins Canada for giving me the chance to read and review this excellent book!
