Evidence Of Becoming Brave: Adventures of a Travel Nurse

by L. McGuire

ICU nurse and lifelong wanderer Luanna McGuire shares the stories that forged her hurricanes that rattled her windows, home invasions that sent the intruder running and codes that pushed medicine and miracles to their limits. She takes us along on assignments that felt like adventures, until they didn’t, and into quiet moments of healing when starting over was the only option. This is her true story; part nursing survival manual, part cross country comedy, part love letter to the people who never give up.

Such a great read! I had a hard time putting it down. If you like adventure, laughs, and some life reflection this is the book for you whether you are in the medical field or not! Engaging with reflection points at the end of each chapter. Also love that she goes into code status and the importance of what they mean at the end of the book, very good information for everyone to know.

Such a well written, laugh out loud, teary eyed, informative book! I absolutely loved it. Journeyed with the author through travel and adventure, haunted houses, hospitals and hurricanes. Definitely recommend!

This book was a great guide, for an adventure seeking person. I wish I was not in my eighties. I would love to take the risk of an adventure like this. T he book was also very informative.
I also have met her mother. She is a fun loving person.
