You Can't Chart Moral Injury: What They Don't Teach You About Being a Nurse

You're not burned out. You're morally injured.

Nurses are leaving the profession in record numbers - not because they couldn't handle the job, but because the job stopped protecting the people who do it.

You Can't Chart Moral Injury is the book nurses have been waiting for - and the one healthcare leaders can't afford to ignore.

Told through journal entries, reflections, and searing commentary, this powerful work gives voice to the trauma, silence, and survival that define modern nursing. From the patient you never forgot, to the policy that forced you to cause harm, to the tears you wiped away before walking into another room - this book puts into words what so many have carried alone.

Written by Orlando Rivera, a nurse, paramedic, and healthcare executive who has served at every level from the bedside to the boardroom, this book pulls no punches - but it also offers a path forward. For nurses. For administrators. For the system itself.

Whether you're a new grad questioning everything, a veteran nurse quietly shutting down, or a CNO searching for the truth behind your turnover - this book is for you.

If you've ever said "I can't do this anymore," but showed up anyway - you already know why this book matters.
