About the book

Written for everyone the field of healthcare depends on.

Surviving Healthcare Training is for those about to begin healthcare training, those currently in training, and anyone already in the healthcare workforce. Nurses, physicians, surgeons, NPs, PAs, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, therapists, dieticians, social workers, counselors, EMTs, medical assistants, technicians, administrators, advocates, and so many others keep hospitals, emergency departments, long-term care, home health, and clinics running for us all.

That training is full of discovery, learning, and heartache. This book shares hard-won lessons to help you thrive in your healthcare career, and gives you some advance knowledge as you move into this noble field.

“There is so much to learn. Despite the simplicity of going from novice to expert, so much of healthcare is now specialized, interdependent, and more complex than any human can possibly process and remember.”
