Summary
Showering in gumboots。 Bomb threats。 Tables of turds。 Welcome to the life of a nurse。
Nurses are our number-one unsung heroes。 They're the ones in the trenches mopping up bodily fluids， holding hands， keeping things ticking - and always with a smile on their face。 In Off the Charts， Australia's favourite straight-talking nurse and comedian Georgie Carroll lets you peek behind the curtains to see the inner workings of a hospital。 Taking us ward to ward， limb to limb， stitch to stitch， Georgie does not hold back as she shows us the human fragility and fierceness she sees every day at work。
This is a laugh-out-loud funny celebration of the big-hearted， no-b*llshit nurses who， sooner or later， play a huge role in all of our lives。

Georgie Carroll is a nurse and stand up comedienne and has written a light hearted look behind the scenes at what it means to be a nurse。 She started her nursing career in England with the NHS and then emigrated to Australia where she also nursed in Australian hospitals。 Using her wide experience， Georgie walks us through each section of the hospital from admissions to the morgue。 If you've ever seen her standup routines you'll be familiar with her threes stages of nursing （dolphin， penguin and Georgie Carroll is a nurse and stand up comedienne and has written a light hearted look behind the scenes at what it means to be a nurse。 She started her nursing career in England with the NHS and then emigrated to Australia where she also nursed in Australian hospitals。 Using her wide experience， Georgie walks us through each section of the hospital from admissions to the morgue。 If you've ever seen her standup routines you'll be familiar with her threes stages of nursing （dolphin， penguin and orca）， that she explains in the book as young graduate nurses move through the system to eventually become the toughened， experienced old hands who run the hospital wards。 While her approach is gently humorous， it was more in the nature of a fond memoir than a book full of hilarious anecdotes， and will be of most interest to those who have ever wondered what it's really like to be a nurse in our busy， modern hospitals。With thanks to Pan Macmillan Australia and Netgalley for a copy to read 。。。more

Georgie is more well known for comedy than her nursing， in this book she combines the two， taking us on a journey through her nursing career， using her particular brand of humour。If you have seen her stand up act you will be familiar with her 'three stages of nursing' （ working in hospital myself is entirely accurate） and that is the reference for this book。Nurses/health professionals would be more likely to appreciate Georgie's witt， and way of thinking but I did find at times some things not f Georgie is more well known for comedy than her nursing， in this book she combines the two， taking us on a journey through her nursing career， using her particular brand of humour。If you have seen her stand up act you will be familiar with her 'three stages of nursing' （ working in hospital myself is entirely accurate） and that is the reference for this book。Nurses/health professionals would be more likely to appreciate Georgie's witt， and way of thinking but I did find at times some things not funny or in poor tasteStill worth a read though 。。。more
