Summary

• How can a nurse deliver effective and compassionate health care to people who use drugs? Bevel up follows a team of street nurses as they reach out to youth, sex workers, and street-entrenched men and women in the alleys and hotels of Vancouver's inner city. Most importantly, the nurses reflect on attitudes they bring to their work-attitudes that can make or break the relationship needed to successfully provide practical and nonjudgmental health care.
