Confessions Of A Male Nurse (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
Confessions of a Male Nurse follows in the footsteps of books like Confessions of a GP and Life and Death on the Streets to chronicle the real-life experiences of a male nurse while he worked in both the UK and New Zealand. The book is split into short chapters dealing with one patient or one setting, and this makes the book very easy and quick to read. Perfect if you don���t want to be tied to reading a book for several days; it���s also easy to put down and pick up again without having to go back over parts of the story.Whilst I enjoyed reading Confessions of a Male Nurse, it wasn���t as humorous as I would have liked it to be, especially considering it���s marketed as ���frequently hilarious���. There were some points when I had a little smile but nothing caused me to laugh out loud. There was also a lack of deep, emotional stories; at no point did I feel that the nurse was particularly affected by what he had seen on an emotional level. He did show frustration at the state of the NHS and some of the situations he was put in but if you are looking for a tell-all on the state of the National Health Service this isn���t the book for you.Overall Confessions of a Male Nurse was an enjoyable quick read. I would recommend it if you like similar books in this genre or fancy something light to read but if you are looking for real humour or an expose, you are going to be left wanting. I have no idea what makes someone who does a job think that they should write a book on it.The author and I use the word author lightly here, may be a good nurse, but a good author he is not.Basically a badly written book by a man who works as a nurse. I gave it 2 stars for the humour. Other than this the book was poorly written by someone who fancied himself as an author but clearly wasn't .One of those books you wonder how they ever got published.
