The story of nursing is woven into war, plague, religion, the economy, and our individual lives. In Taking Care, Sarah DiGregorio chronicles the lives of nurses past and tells the stories of those today--caregivers at the vital intersection of health care and community who are changing the world, often invisibly.
What The Reviewers Say
That the book challenges pervasive cultural stereotypes of nurses — dispatching with the image of the brow-mopping angel — is a literary relief.
Uniquely fresh and expansive.
A capacious look at nurses throughout history.
Striking an expert balance between the big picture and intimate portraits of individual caregivers, this is an enlightening study of a crucial yet often overlooked profession..
