One Shift at a Time

A Heartfelt Nursing Story About Life, Love, and Finding Yourself

On the floor, every heartbeat counts. Off the clock, she’s figuring out her own.

Tanya Evers just graduated nursing school and is thrown into the fast-paced chaos of a Toronto hospital. The pressure is constant, the stakes are high, and there’s no room for hesitation. Every shift tests her limits.

By day and night, Tanya is faced with:

  • Code blues that shake her confidence

  • Patients who leave lasting marks on her heart

  • Colleagues who challenge and guide her

  • Exhaustion, fear, and the moments that make it all worth it

Off the floor, there’s more to manage. A sarcastic roommate with a secret soft side. Poetry nights at the local bookstore that feel like therapy. And Lucas, a former patient with a complicated past that isn’t as far behind as she thought.

Through adrenaline, heartbreak, and stolen moments of calm, Tanya learns that nursing is not just about saving lives. It is about holding on to your own.
