About this Event

In , nurse Tilda Shalof shares her knowledge and vast experience with student nurse, Lisa Mochrie. Their relationship unfolds through conversations, texts, emails, and real-time meetings, that span the COVID-19 pandemic to the present day.

The Handover is a candid, often humorous, and deeply intimate look into the world of nursing, which is too often overlooked by the media or regarded through overly sentimental stereotypes. Accessible to all readers and invaluable to students and educators, this book will stimulate critical conversations about what it means to care for others and oneself and how to repair our precious, but precarious, health care system.
