Hey there!

Welcome to my bookshelf. I am excited to share the books that I think every nurse should read.

I love reading. In fact, I would say that it is one of my favorite hobbies. 

And please don’t tell me that reading is not a hobby. (I hear that enough from my family.)

Anyway, I have found that reading is a great way to stay current on a variety of topics. This includes self-care, leadership, and even happiness.

I can hear you now. Who has time to read, right? 

Well, if you are not reading, then you’re missing out.

There is no better way to gain access to the world’s thought leaders and change agents than reading. 

 Not to mention, it is a lot cheaper than attending a bunch of conferences. If reading isn’t your thing, I understand. Maybe you can check them out as audiobooks.

As a result of my reading addiction, I have a boat ton of books to share. I am breaking them up according to subjects and I hope you give them a try.

To begin, I want to be clear. My promise to you is that I will NEVER share anything that I don’t whole-heartedly recommend.

Furthermore, I will only share books that I have read and love. You don’t have time for books that are mediocre.

Enjoy!- Rochelle
