Interview: Theresa Brown, RN
Oncology nurse
Author, Critical Care



Before Theresa Brown became a nurse, she earned her PhD in English and taught writing at Tufts University. But at mid-life, she opted for a radical career change.

In her new book, Critical Care, Brown talks about her first year as an oncology nurse.

As she explains to Sound Medicine’s Steve Bogdewic, PhD, Brown felt she needed more day-to-day human contact than she was finding in academia.

Theresa Brown also contributes to the New York Times health blog.
