I'm so glad you liked it, Diane. Terrific personal associations. I love that kind of review.
Terrific review, Diane. I don't know how they do it, the constant high adrenaline and the fast pace, surely takes a toll.
Diane, candy stripping at 16 is an experience we share. A friend persuaded me, and I was also attracted to those uniforms. We drove around a juice cart at bedtime and offered back rubs. Instead of driving me away, I was sucked right into the nursing profession. After many years on a medical-surgical unit, I migrated into the nursery. I saw a lot, but nothing like the ER. I could never have worked in the ER, and I have all the respect in the world for those who do. Great review, Diane :-)
Love your heartfelt review, Diane! These people don't always get the praise they so rightly deserve.
Life can be, and usually is, 'iffy' at the nest of times Diane. Great review - regarding ED, I love the vibe in that department, full of resourceful, can-do people, getting stuff done. Great review 🤗🎈🦘
Thanks everyone. My husband's cousin was an ER nurse, and met her husband, an ER doctor, there. I'm sending this to them, I think they'll appreciate it.
Ah Libby, a fellow candy striper! I suspect you have a more nurturing personality than I do, most nurses I've met or know do.
Thanks again Betsy, for introducing me to this author. I'll read more by him.
