Summary note

"Author and poet Jeanne Bryner has gathered biographical sketches of remarkable nurses, each accompanied by poetry and photographs, and has created this multigenre presentation that is compassionate and complex." "This is the first book in the Literature and Medicine Series that concentrates on nurses' voices and their experiences in providing health care. It enhances and broadens our perspectives on how health care is delivered and understood by the nurses who are our primary care givers."--BOOK JACKET.
