Nowadays, 'celebrity' has taken its place, but at one time, 'nurse' was a representative profession that female students dreamed of at least once.
There were also many cases where people had fantasies about the 'angel in white' wearing a white cap and white one-piece dress.


The profession of 'nurse' is still attractive in another sense.
Even now, when youth unemployment is a social problem, the employment rate of nursing school graduates is very high.
With discrimination still prevalent in women's social advancement, nursing is perhaps a preferred profession because it offers fair competition and relatively high pay.
This is precisely why nursing departments in three-year universities are usually ranked among the top departments in those universities.


So, should nurses really be 'angels in white'?
The authors of this book unanimously testify that this is absolutely not the case.
Patients who need to be cared for with love are objects of love and hate for nurses.
She lists patients who ask nurses to do whatever they want, patients who bow endlessly to doctors but treat nurses rudely, and patients who ask that their pain be relieved first, and asks them to please do something appropriately.


He also expresses his regrets towards the doctors he works with in the medical field.
He criticizes doctors who treat him like an inferior even though he is clearly a fellow medical professional, and he is pessimistic about the fate of nurses who have to take orders from interns who are still lacking in skills.
They do not hide the minor conflicts that arise among nurses due to the simultaneous existence of three-year and four-year nursing schools.


In this book, the authors vividly describe the realities they experience in the medical field without any self-praise or self-deprecation about the profession of nursing.
At least, you can clearly understand what the nurses in various fields who appear in this book do, what difficulties they face, and what their joys and sorrows are.


The authors are honestly confessing that what they learned in school as nursing students was nothing more than a textbook, and that the reality was completely different, which made it even more difficult.


But the charm of this book lies in the fact that these confessions do not end as mere complaints about reality.
She vows to herself that she must be a nurse who is truly needed by patients, not just a kind nurse, not just a nurse who smiles at patients, but a nurse who possesses 'skills'. So, she must constantly study and push herself.
He also says that even in the midst of daily, repetitive tasks, one must be able to truly and delicately soothe the patient's pain.
That's why the confession of a former nurse who said she should have avoided being relegated to the periphery of the medical field is all the more urgent.


This book provides readers with an unvarnished understanding of the work, life, rewards, and sorrows of nurses in private hospitals, small and medium-sized hospitals, and general hospitals, including what they do in intensive care units, operating rooms, emergency rooms, general wards, and psychiatric wards, how nurses work, and how difficult the three-shift work is.


In addition to the clinical nurses commonly seen in hospitals, senior nurses who have pioneered new fields will appear and introduce their work.


Senior nurses who have entered fields still relatively unknown to many, such as underwriters in charge of insurance underwriting at insurance companies, medical litigation managers in charge of medical lawsuits at law firms, and flight nurses in charge of employee health at airlines, are leading the way into the broader world of nursing.
Although it is still an uncharted territory where men face discrimination, there are male nurses who encourage their juniors by saying that there are areas in which men can excel, and there are also senior nurses who encourage them to challenge themselves as American nurses, saying that this world is small, so broaden your horizons to the world.
It also highlights the importance of hospice care, which helps prepare for a beautiful death rather than simply providing nursing care during the treatment of illness. It also provides a detailed look at the rewards and challenges of being a health teacher who considers both education and health.


This book, which informs nurses who have been confined to hospitals about new fields they must pioneer, will serve as a rare guide for nurses not only for middle and high school students who want to become nurses, but also for nursing students who are trying to decide on their career path.
