“Is there a "best" wisdom? If so, it comes seasoned, like fine wine... given time, experience and reflection. It sits calmly with an inner strength. It is fearless and compassionate. Ideas can be learned in a book, but true wisdom comes from spirit and... always walking in tandem with your soul. Otherwise, it is only power.”
- Audrey Friedman, RN

Audrey Friedman, RN

Audrey Friedman, RN has been a nurse for over 37 years with a wide variety of amazing experiences helping people in clinical situations in newborn intensive care, oncology, bone marrow transplant, cardiology, and adult intensive care units. Audrey has enjoyed providing care to patients, their families, the community in a variety of clinical roles including bedside nursing, case manager, education, travel nurse, office nurse, community speaker, online educator and legal nurse consultant. Audrey has loved being a mentor to nurses in various stages of their career from nursing students to experienced nurses as well as collegial opportunities to paramedics and firefighters in mentor roles as a creative clinical preceptor, educator, and blogger. Audrey always wanted to be a nurse and fondly remembers reading children’s’ books on Clara Barton and Florence Nightingale and costumes of nurses’ caps around her house believing there was magic in the white cap. Audrey graduated in nurses whites and caps and still believes in the magic nurses have, to affect change in healing in people’s lives. Audrey’s ‘Nursing Wit and Wisdom’ project for nurses was nominated for the 2015 Nightingale awards. One of the wonderful things about nursing, Audrey believes, is the ability to be a nurse in so many different clinical specialties, environments, and locations that as we are helping people heal, they are changing us too and we, as healers are never the same.

"I have had the pleasure to read quite a few of Audrey's work, and they have always been enjoyable, as well as educational. Don't miss out on a chance to read such a witty, informative, educational and memorable journey with insight only a dedicated nurse could share with us."

Jill Oldehoff

Nurses have the unique privilege to have a backstage pass to our patients' and families' journeys. In the process, we teach, listen, clean up things only your mother or a toxic waste company would touch, and love to wake up doctors in the middle of the night.

And hopefully, we inspire and share our wisdom along the way.

The journey is not only for them, but for us as well. Our own journey as nurses has been seeded by what we experience. Do you see them as gifts or challenges? Can both inspire you?

I hope so!

This is the perfect companion for nurses, nursing students, medical students and all those who share in a nurse's life.

Share it with someone!

Inspire and Be Inspired!
