The individuals in my stories, very in age from twelve to sixty-five years. However, many of them are about adolescents whom I dearly loved interacting with.
I've come to know and respect hundreds of patients/clients and have learned so much from them. I wish to thank each one for making my career so fulfilling.

About the Author

ABOUT THE AUTHOR As a nurse since 1962, I never got bored due to the many nursing opportunities available to me. I've worked on medical units, In and Outpatient psychiatric settings, a doctor's office, a nursing home and taught a Medication Administration course for the State Health Department. My favorite specialties were psychiatric and community health nursing. I especially liked working with adolescents in a psychiatric setting. I started with a Diploma from Bryn Mawr Hospital School of Nursing. Sixteen years later I received a Bachelor's from Metro State College, and three years later a Master's Degree in Community Health Nursing from the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. I learned so much and I am so grateful to the hundreds of clients that made me the nurse I am today.
