Author Tenley Force's journey from student to fully registered nurse wasn't easy, causing her to face the very extremes of humanity.

In her debut book, New: Nursing and the Art of Being Human, Tenley seeks to answer the question... How can we heal ourselves while we are busy healing others? In her search, Tenley interviewed 50 different nurses throughout the United States - some with only several months experience, and some with many years.

Through the process of open and honest communication Tenley was able to compile a variety of voices, which, along with her own experiences, help others to hang onto their sense of self in the midst of stressful, new situations. Filled with advice, experience, and commiseration, New is a direct look into the world of high-pressure careers, and the way we process emotions in both our personal and professional lives.
