  Staying sane often means embracing insanity, especially in 'Nursing'. This is a dark comic novel about life, love, pain, nursing - and being gay. What's it like to be a male nurse in a woman-dominated profession? For Richard Steele it means incompetent administrators, drug addicted doctors, a whacked-out nursing staff, long gruelling hours and bizarre patients. Confessions of a Male Nurse takes you on a rollercoaster ride through the on-and-off duty life of a gay male nurse in the early 1980s before AIDS became omnipresent. This hilarious, often touching dark comic novel will take you on a wild ride with our irreverent hero with some of the wackiest adventures to the horrifying beginning of the AIDS crisis. This is as real as it gets. Confessions of a Male Nurse tells the uncensored story of a gay man who wants to make a difference with his life by helping those in need. From his tortuous schooling through being on staff at a hospital, this tale takes you on his adventures from the Paediatric Ward to the Psych Ward to the Intensive Care Unit, and the screwball staff and friends he meets.
