Summary

From the people who brought you the bestselling Confessions of a GP.

From stampeding nudes to inebriated teenagers, young nurse Michael Alexander never really knew what he was getting himself into. But now, sixteen years since he was first launched into his nursing career – as the only man in a gynaecology ward – he’s pretty much dealt with everything: Body parts that come off in his hands; Teenagers with phantom pregnancies; Doctors unable to tell the difference between their left and right; Violent drunks; Singing relatives; Sexism; . . . and a whole lot of nudity.

Confessions of a Male Nurse is a touching, shocking and frequently hilarious account of one man’s life in nursing.

An insight into work of a male nurse

I really enjoyed this book. The stories kept me captivated and wanting to know more. In fact I would like to know more and hope Michael Alexander writes another book about his life as a private school nurse!

The caring Proffesion

The author comes over, like most nurses, as a caring and compassionate individual. The book shows the health service - warts and all, to be far removed from the original values and practices of the earlier nursing profession. The book touches lots of emotions, recounting happy and sad events as well as funny and serious incidents. In all a very enjoyable book.
