True Stories about Nurses: A tribute to empathy and humanity

by Colleen Sell

The kindness and skill of a good nurse is critical to the healing process. Every day, nurses help us when we are at our most vulnerable—and every day they make enormous differences in our lives. These three stories in True Stories about Nurses remind you that there’s nothing more healing than a soft touch, a warm voice, and a capable hand. These stories are a small way to say thank you to dedicated nurses everywhere.
