This book is mostly based on my life, with a little fiction mixed in. Seventeen. Scrubs. Terrified. Clueless. By twenty, I was a nurse — making decisions that could mean life or death, carrying heartbreak, chaos, and exhaustion on my shoulders every day. Seventeen in Scrubs is raw, unfiltered, and brutally honest. It’s about growing up fast in healthcare, learning resilience, and discovering what it truly means to care.
