5.0 out of 5 stars A snapshot of nursing history, June 20, 2000

This review is from: Army Nurse: Cherry Ames, #3 (Hardcover)

The Cherry Ames books give a glimpse into the history of nursing. Cherry is attractive, smart, savvy, organized and detailed - everything a nurse should seem to be!

4.0 out of 5 stars Cherry Ames: Army Nurse, January 20, 2003

This review is from: Army Nurse: Cherry Ames, #3 (Hardcover)

I give this 4 stars taking into consideration when it was written. By that I mean that it is perhaps a snapshot of "nursing" from the time and all the Cherry Ames books should be taken for what they are, a romp, through the eyes of Miss Ames, RN. Don't take them too seriously, just enjoy the ride. Some of the situations seem contrived and silly by current standards, but its a quick light entertaining read and there's nothing else like them that I'm aware of - a young, bright, independent female character moving from one nursing adventure to another enjoying her career and learning about life as she goes. No gratuitous sex or violence. - Fun!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best "Cherry's"..., July 2, 2001

This review is from: Army Nurse: Cherry Ames, #3 (Hardcover)

I started to read Cherry Ames when I bought one from a used bookstore a couple of years ago. I bought Cherry Ames, Army Nurse because of its cover(I know, I know). She looked very excited and happy there, so I had to join her. It was a great continuation of the first two books in the series, and gave a real look of how Army nurses trained back then. From her first time at the base, to training, to a special ending, I wouldn't change a thing about the book. It was good all around.
