Confessions of a Male Nurse

A bit about the author

This book follows my progression from a theatre porter to student nurse to becoming a professional nurse. In line with confidentiality, I have changed the names of people, except for two of my very good friends who have given permission to use their real names.

I never wanted to be a Nurse. I always wanted to work in a laboratory which I did from leaving school. Nursing came out of the blue, after taking a temporary job as a theatre porter. To this day I have never looked back. Nursing has changed a lot over the years, you cannot have as much fun as you used to. The person who introduced me to nursing I am no longer with, after twenty years we parted company as friends, and I thank her for that introduction to nursing. I am now happily married to an amazing person, who is very supportive and has my sense of humour. I have certainly met my match there. She too has also encouraged me to write this book.

¿These are merely a sample of the things that happened to me whilst I was training and practicing as a Nurse. I have changed people's names to keep them anonymous. I can confirm that everything you read in this book is factual and have genuinely happened.
