A moving and eye-opening account of a nurse's career.

On Call sensitively portrays a universally beloved profession whose everyday details remain largely unknown. Training, internships, dealing with difficult patients, salary, talking to loved ones, scheduling shifts… Far from painting a rosy portrait of nursing, Papas dives into deep into daily routine while condemning institutional malpractice, for enabling such crimes as abuse in retirement homes.
This is a story of a working life founded on human relationships. Personal anecdotes highlight the very human nature of a nurse's calling and the lasting personal scars that come from facing constant suffering.
A wonderful tribute and insider's view of those involved in this public service.
