    Working on dead bodies? That would be a Pathologist and an Anatomical Pathology Technician, not a nurse. ( I used to be an APT)

    I know of mental health nurses and adult nurses who work in forensic nursing.
    Oh no not those jobs, maybe it's just an American thing then.

    Yes I know this site is American, just wondered about the British versions though working in the Emergency Room would just be a general nurse.

    This would be post-grad

    Hi,

    Just wondering if anyone could recommend any good books about nursing from a nurse's perspective. I just read "Nurse! Nurse!" which was about a student nurse and his journey over the three years. It was quite good. However, I can't seem to find any more literature of the same kind. I'm going on the hunt for blogs too.

    Thanks
