Nightingale Nursing Chronicles: School Daze

About the Book

Nightingale Nursing Chronicles, a series of three manuscripts, each from forty to fifty thousand words are designed to present a true picture of the practice of professional nursing.

The stories are based on personal experience, not intended to be primarily autobiographical but to encourage enrollment in schools of nursing education required to practice on various levels of professional nursing. The intent is to illustrate the challenge of service for nurses who practice in basic or advanced roles.
