👎 Skip It
Three nursing professionals tackle a real, well-documented problem — nurse-to-nurse hostility — with concrete scripts instead of vague encouragement, and American Nurse magazine took it seriously as a professional-development title. It's genuinely useful if you're a nurse, but the appeal barely extends beyond that world, and narration credit across all three co-authors isn't fully confirmed, so I can't vouch for the full listen with confidence.
