Superb book about nurses

My daughter recently graduated from nursing school. I bought this book as a graduation gift for her. The words and photos in this book tell a powerful story about the dedication of nurses around the world. She loved the book!

thoughful and evocative

Wonderful pictures, shwoing the depth and breadth of what nurses do, around the world. The photos are fomr a person who has been published in National Geographic, and of comparable quality. the text is inspiring. WOW!

Inspirational Book

This book tells in both words and pictures the life of a nurse. It shows the profession across the world.....it shows the best qualities of humanity and inspires the reader to find the best of himself or herself within.......whether or not you are in the nursing profession.

Proof of the wonderful profession I chose

As a nurse, it was a wonderful and inspiring read. I will pass it on to my 2 daughters and a grand daughter that are nurses. It told about the compassion that we as nurses have regardless of status, color or ethnic and religous background. It made me feel that we, as nurses, could wipe out a lot of pain and suffering throughout the world if only funds were available.
