This year marks 10 years as a registered nurse for me. If someone told me ten years ago I’d be reading this for fun (for FUN!!), I would have tried to look up their diagnosis in the DSM-IV. (See…I’m dating myself already…the DSM-5 will be out in May 2013!)
It’s true; my “reading for pleasure” material has changed dramatically. Oh well. I’m unapologetic. It actually makes me happy. Imagine that, learning something new excites me. (If you didn’t catch it, that last statement is oozing with sarcasm.)
Keep an eye on the Oncology Nursing Society’s RE:Connect blog for my review of this book.

March 24, 2013 3:09 pmI definitely agree. Right now I have a few textbooks on the go, my video material for the subway ride to work is Kaplan medical material and I have been really enjoying Beyond the Checklist on my kindle!
Hope it is a good read!

I’ve never read “Beyond the Checklist;” it sounds interesting!

March 26, 2013 10:48 pmWell the material is targeted towards medical students and for physician boards I don’t need it for that. I am just trying to better understand medical thinking and rationale for actions. It helps in practice and my new role is working on helping to standardize clinical pathways for patients.
The book was just published in March by Suzanne Gordon, definitely an interesting read!
