Becoming Brave Press
15 December 2025

Nursing; Self-help & personal development; Adventure holidays

In Evidence of Becoming Brave, ICU nurse and lifelong wanderer Luanna McGuire shares the stories that forged her grit. From Machu Picchu to the bedside of a patient taking his last breath on zoom, Luanna shows us that bravery isn't a single act. It's choosing to show up shift after shift, heartbreak after heartbreak... Even if you're terrified.

Told with humor as sharp as her stubbornness and honesty as raw as an ICU shift, Evidence of Becoming Brave is more than a nurse's memoir. It's equal parts nursing survival manual, cross-country comedy, and a love letter to the people who never give up.

Her adventures are messy, funny and real. Evidence that bravery doesn't arrive all at once, it's stitched together from every disaster survived, every risk taken, and every laugh wrung out of the mess.

Luanna McGuire is a critical care nurse, accidental writer, and a life-long seeker of adventure. She's spent years working in hospitals across the country, collecting stories, bruises, and the occasional laugh at the wrong moment. Somewhere between long shifts, airport terminals, and scribbled journal pages, she learned that sometimes the only way to survive is to find the humor in it all.When she's not in scrubs, she's visiting family and friends, soaking up every second with her granddaughter, or plotting her next adventure...which may be another book! Her writing comes from the messy middle of life's bumpy roads where healing and laughter often show up at the same time and where bravery doesn't always look the way one expects.

Reviews for Evidence of Becoming Brave: Adventures of a Travel Nurse

""Evidence took me for a trip...A few at that! It captures the experience of living a travel nurse life by diving into the details of destination locales, but also explores the insides of a hospital from the perspective of someone who has learned to navigate the social, professional, and emotional challenges of that work space. Not only does this book share how the author grew braver in her sense of self, it invites the reader to explore their own life's journey and perspectives, finding their own personal evidence of becoming brave. This is a great read for nurses, adventurers, or anyone who wants to dig a little deeper into what you want to get out of life."" ""Ms. McGuire invites us to take a walk in her shoes. Her stories take us from her unique childhood to the nomadic life of a travel nurse. Her stories are told with wit, humor and wisdom. She encourages her readers to try on her experiences by asking ""What would you do?"". Evidence of Becoming Brave is an inspiring story, a must read. You will laugh and maybe shed a tear as you follow her in the ICU. Definitely best seller material. I will be presenting this book to my book club."" ""This book is educational, inspirational, and hysterically funny. A must read in the classroom or on a bright tropical beach!"" ""This book will make you laugh out loud, ugly face cry and find yourself yearning for more adventures in your life. Thought provoking, witty, gut wrenching insight from a woman who has definitely embraced becoming brave. It's well written and flows so easily I finished it in one sitting. I look forward to reading it over and over again when I need a reminder to be brave and step out of my secure life and seek more of the journey."" ""I found myself laughing with the turn of almost every page! This book is full of great adventures that are so well-written...I almost felt like I was there! One lesson learned from this precious memoir...Dont let anyone tell you that you can't accomplish your dream."" ""Buy this book. It is a quick and fun read. It made me smile, laugh out loud (naked street running), a few oh s*** (interesting balloon landing) and even shed a few tears, she gives you something to ponder(some similar family stuff). I love at the end of each chapter, she gives you something to ponder.""
