RehabRN book club: Be inspired

If you are a burn nurse, I applaud you. You have one of the hardest jobs on the planet. Your work encompasses so many skills: ICU skills, rehab skills, and above all, those sterile dressing skills, working on dressings that often takes hours to complete. I've heard a few stories from my traveling partner, who spent the first part of her career as a RN and NP in a burn unit at a level one trauma center.

John O'Leary's On Fire centers around his experience as a burn victim and the things that happened after this life-changing event.

There are a lot of tear-jerking and inspirational events in this book, but the one that got me was when he saw his favorite nurse years later.

If they ever make this into a movie, that part will have everyone in the audience bawling.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Stay tuned for more book reviews.
