Cherry Ames Nursing Series Boxed-Set (Books 9-12) Cruise Nurse, Boarding School Nurse, Department Store Nurse and Camp Nurse [Hardcover]

Helen Wells (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 10, 2007 | ISBN-10: 0826104193 | ISBN-13: 978-0826104199 | Edition: 1

Cherry Ames Boxed Set 9-12 contains four Cherry classics--Cruise Nurse, Boarding School Nurse, Department Store Nurse, and Camp Nurse!

Cherry Ames is back, just as you remember her! The books are just as you remember them, retaining the same look, feel, and sense of adventure and patriotism as when they were first published. With fully illustrated color covers and a soft-finished hardcover format just like the originals, these books will transport you back to the days when you were reading about this spunky young nurse. Series editor and registered nurse Harriet Forman was inspired by, and remains, a devoted fan of Cherry Ames: "...I was going to follow in her footsteps and become a nurse--nothing else would do."

Springer Publishing Company is delighted to be bringing Helen Wells's beloved heroine back into print for a new generation of younger readers (as well as a host of nostalgic older ones). The books are available as beautifully rendered facsimile hardcover editions and in boxed sets of four. We intend to have all of the Helen Wells books back in print by early 2008.

From the Publisher

Springer Publishing Company is proud to present the re-release of the Cherry Ames nursing series! The books are just as you remember them, retaining the same look, feel, and sense of adventure and patriotism as when they were first published. With fully illustrated color covers and a soft-finished hardcover format just like the originals, these books will transport you back to the days when you were reading about this spunky young nurse. They will also make delightful reading for a new generation of younger readers, transporting them back to a more innocent time when an independent young woman, devoted to helping people--yet also adventuresome, resourceful, and courageous--balanced helping others with getting involved in breathtaking mystery and adventure.

With a heart of pure gold and a true yearning to make a difference in the world, eighteen-year-old Cherry Ames leaves her hometown and enters nursing school, embarking on a lifetime of adventures. Follow Cherry through the entire 20-volume series as she grows from a student nurse to a fully qualified RN, all the while making friends, pushing the limits of authority, leading her nursing colleagues, and sleuthing and solving mysteries.

From the Author

"I was and still am a fan of Cherry Ames. Her courageous dedication to her patients; her exciting escapades; her thirst for knowledge; her intelligent application of her nursing skills; and the respect she achieved as a registered nurse (RN) all made it clear to me that I was going to follow in her footsteps and become a nurse - nothing else would do. ..... Never once did I regret my decision to enter nursing."---From the Foreword by Harriet Schulman Forman, RN, EdD

This review is from: Cherry Ames Nursing Series Boxed-Set (Books 9-12) Cruise Nurse, Boarding School Nurse, Department Store Nurse and Camp Nurse (Hardcover)

The Cherry Ames novels tend to be a little less interesting as they go on. I still think the first four are the best. They still show the variety of possibilities available to nurses, most of which are still options today. Even though I am a physician, I was still surprised by some of the options available to nurses that I hadn't thought of. As a physician, it's interesting to see a historical snapshot of medicine in the 30's-40's. These stories appealed to me as a young girl when I found them on an aunt's shelves, and they are still fun to read.
