Nurse patient relationship

What if true strength in healthcare isn't just about skill or knowledge, but who you are when it matters most?

Heart over ego. Presence over perfection. The courage to keep showing up.

We are taught that nurses must remain calm under pressure, offer endless compassion, and always be ready to help. But what happens when this responsibility becomes too heavy to bear alone-when you're in the middle of a code and everyone looks to you for answers you're not sure you have?

Debrief is a deeply personal and unfiltered account of life in the emergency department, told through the eyes of nurse Stephanee Beggs. From her earliest days as a new graduate to her experiences as a staff and travel nurse, Beggs takes readers behind the scenes of one of the most intense corners of healthcare.

This raw and honest memoir explores what it truly means to advocate for patients-while simultaneously learning to advocate for yourself. With powerful storytelling and hard-won insight, Beggs reveals the emotional weight of emergency nursing: the profound losses, the quiet victories, the unspoken culture of ""nurses eat their young,"" and the quest to find your voice in a system that doesn't always listen. Unpacking her experiences with authenticity and intention, she searches for each moment's deeper lesson.

At its core, Debrief is about dissecting what shapes you-those defining moments that make you who you are as a professional and a person.

The debrief: the pause often overlooked after a traumatic shift. This book is that debrief-the one we rarely receive but have always needed.

In Debrief, you'll discover:

The unvarnished reality of life on the frontlines of emergency medicine Strategies to navigate trauma, grief, and burnout while staying grounded in your core purpose The truth about systemic challenges in healthcare-and how to rise above them Why debriefing and reflection are key to personal healing and professional growth How vulnerability, honesty, and empathy can change lives-starting with your own

Filled with grit, heart, and unwavering truth, Debrief will move you, challenge you, and ultimately remind you of the power of the human spirit-even in the most uncertain times.
