Brown, a nurse, is also the author of the New York Times Bestseller THE SHIFT, and CRITICAL CARE, a memoir of her first year working as a nurse.

Quotes by Theresa Brown (?)

“For where else can I go to sample daily the richness of life in all its profound chaos?”
― Theresa Brown, Critical Care: A New Nurse Faces Death, Life, and Everything in Between

“Death is always death, and in real life, especially in the world of the hospital, sudden death, whether violent and gruesome or unbelievably prosaic, is unsettling. What can one do? Go home, love your children, try not to bicker, eat well, walk in the rain, feel the sun on your face, and laugh loud and often, as much as possible, and especially at yourself. Because the antidote to death is not poetry, or miracle treatments, or a roomful of people with technical expertise and good intentions—the antidote to death is life.”
― Theresa Brown, Critical Care: A New Nurse Faces Death, Life, and Everything in Between
