How I Became the Real Life Nurse Jackie

Kay, Lyndsey

Lyndsey is not your everyday registered nurse. She has secrets. Follow her as she navigates through conflicts in the nursing world while trying to solely raise a family and ultimately finds herself an alcoholic turned junkie. The book begins with her thoughts as a burnt out nurse contemplating strategies to get high and travels back to her beginning as a naïve young girl with hopes and dreams. Journey with her through nursing school and struggling to maintain a career, then finding herself homeless, and striving for redemption. Based on actual events.
Contains explicit language, sexual situations, and drug references.

"The reader will also appreciate the seamless flow of the plot line and the easy-to-understand language used by the author. I loved how she candidly captured not only the thoughts, feelings, and challenges faced by teenagers but also by medics and the working environment. This book is a must-read!" -Frank Mutuma, Reader's Favorite, 4/5 stars
