Not In These Hands

What does a nursing student learn after watching ribs crack, accidentally chasing demons away, and watching a baby refuse to die?

That life isn’t really in her hands.

Inspired by real experiences on the wards, Not In These Hands is a reflective collection of stories about grace, grief, faith and the strange ways people survive what should break them. Honest, heartfelt and sometimes unintentionally funny, these pages offer a behind-the-scenes into the organised chaos of healthcare through the eyes of a nursing student.

Some stories will make you laugh. Some might sit with you a little too long. And somewhere between the hospital curtains, emergency calls and quiet prayers, you may find yourself remembering just how fragile—and precious—life really is.

This is only the beginning.
