13 Superstitions of Nurses (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781300000181)

Step into the breakroom, the dimly lit hallway, or the silent night shift where whispers of superstition still linger. In 13 Superstitions of Nurses, Dr. Gary Harper-nurse, professor, and storyteller-uncovers the quirky, eerie, and strangely comforting beliefs that have been passed from nurse to nurse through generations. From the dreaded utterance of "quiet" to the mystery of the full moon, from the unlucky take-out order to the chilling sight of the "Lady in White," these stories offer more than just folklore-they reflect the deep emotional truths, cultural rituals, and coping mechanisms of a profession rooted in life, death, and everything in between. Blending humor, history, and heartfelt experience, this collection captures the spirit of nursing culture, and the ways superstition helps bring meaning to the unpredictable world of patient care. Whether you're a seasoned nurse, a student, or simply curious about the hidden world behind the hospital curtains, this book invites you to believe-just a little. Because in nursing, sometimes it's not just coincidence.
