Days and Nights: Tales Of A Bedside Nurse

This nurse's experiences at the bedside come alive as she shares vignettes of twenty-five years of hospital nursing - her second career. The stories begin with a psychic telling the fortune of this young woman, just out of high school. She walks away laughing at the psychic's vision of her working in a hospital. Twenty years later, the stories pick up as they take the reader through medical emergencies she faced because of her husband's diabetes and the decision to apply to nursing school at the age of 39. The stories continue through her retirement and follow as she faces new directions.
