Product Description

Doctors have long been considered the heroes of the medical profession. Yet it is the nurses who are there for us at birth, death, and every bump, bruise, or break in between. A Cup of Comfort for Nurses brings the tales of more than fifty of these underappreciated professionals to life, including:

Bonnie, who along with one of her fellow nurses, became known to her patients as "Comfort and Joy"

Julie, who became a nurse (along with four of her siblings) after caring for a physically and mentally delayed sister in her home under the guidance of her doting mother

Dot, who served her country during World War II by caring for injured soldiers home from the front
The moving tales of these dedicated nurses, along with the dozens of others in A Cup of Comfort for Nurses are sure to appeal to readers everywhere-and may even inspire some of them to take up the nurses mantle themselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Cup of Comfort for Nurses, April 17, 2006

By	Linda Jane Dumat - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Even though I contributed a story to this anthology I wanted to share my opinion about the publication. I was very impressed with all the stories as I thought they spoke very well to the heart of nurses and nursing. The compassion and caring for fellow human beings came through in a very real and humbling way. I think any nurse would be proud in reading this book. It speaks well of our profession.

5.0 out of 5 stars Specializing Lt. Mulkerne, April 27, 2006

By	M. C. Treiling - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The story of the Cadet Nurse and Lt. Mulkerne really got to me. Not only is it a true love story, but it is the true story of my parents. I am proud to see it in print. My parents would have celebrated 60 years of marriage this June, but sadly my father (Lt. Mulkerne) passed away last August. He knew that their story was going to be published however, and for that I am grateful. This book is very inspiring and filled with hope. Thank you for giving nurses and all those in the caring profession a voice.
