"Wolf's dramatic portrayal of nurses and nursing holds the reader's attention throughout and is recommended to anyone who wants to know what hospital bedside nurses do and how they feel about what they do."-- Pennsylvania Nurse, "Wolf, a professor of nursing, identifies four fundamental rituals--postmortem procedures, administering medication, aseptic practices, and change-of-shift reports--and how these arts are learned and practiced in a large urban hospital. . . . Excellent."-- Library Journal
