Becoming a Nurse

Vital reading for anyone considering a career in nursing, this book from journalist and former New York Times reporter Sonny Kleinfield documents the day-to-day work of nurses at New York's Lenox Hill Hospital. Kleinfield shadows nurse Hadassah Lampert during her busy workday, moving from the ER to the ICU and back again as she works diligently to treat incoming patients. Dealing with trauma and death everyday, nursing is by no means an easy job. But especially in this post-COVID world, where nursing is more in demand than ever, this book provides aspiring health care professionals with a close-up look at what awaits them after nursing school.
