Due out May 2 from HarperCollins, Sarah DiGregorio’s Taking Care: The Story of Nursing and Its Power to Change Our World has already been receiving enthusiastic praise and is now available for preordering. This major work documents the history of the vital and beloved profession while examining the state of nursing in a post-pandemic world and weighing its hope for the future. Kirkus declared Taking Care “a warm appreciation of the nursing profession” and “a well-informed consideration of the intimacy of care,” while Publishers Weekly proclaimed it “an enlightening study” that provides “an expert balance between the big picture and intimate portraits of individual caregivers.” Nurse Theresa Brown, the New York Times bestselling author of The Shift, called Taking Care “a revelation,” which “shows that nurses make the world a better place” and Deborah Burger, president of National Nurses United (the largest professional association of registered nurses in the U.S.) lauded it as “an important book.”
