A conversation with Theresa Brown

Clinical Café is pleased to announce the latest in a series of conversations with newsmakers in the field of patient safety and quality. We spoke recently with Theresa Brown, RN, a hospital nurse and author who lives and works in the Pittsburgh, PA area. A former Tufts University English professor, she decided to become a nurse mid-career. Brown is a regular contributor to the New York Times blog “Well.” Her book, "Critical Care: A New Nurse Faces Death, Life and Everything in Between," was published in June 2010.
