Product Description

Senior Nurse

Cherry realizes that "a senior really must be a little more sober and responsible" - perhaps she should have warned the head nurse right away about the rabbit that had been smuggled into the pediatric ward. But the children had enjoyed it so! As "lofty" seniors, Cherry and her friends each "adopt" a probationer (first-year student) to mentor. Why did her probie have to be dull and sullen Mildred Burnham? Dr. Joe Fortune has discovered a new way to synthesize penicillin - which could make a life or death difference on the battle front. But how did word of it become common knowledge around Spencer? Cherry discovers that Mildred has more to her than she thought as together they face the dangerous thieves who have stolen Dr. Joe's formula.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nostalgia, March 8, 2006

By	Paula E. Freeman "voracious reader" (Hendersonville, NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Just as I remembered from childhood. As a medical professional and a new grandmother, I hope to someday introduce my little granddaughter to this nursing series. I was really excited to discover these books being re-issued. Yes, they are dated, WWII era, but many of the books in the series were dated when I first read them in the early '60's.

I grew up reading my mother's Cherry Ames books. Now (many years later) I'm enjoying the newly released books. They are a trip down memory lane, show true caring about nursing and people, and making me smile. Though they are definitely from the WWII era that just adds some flavor to the actual story while still being a nice promotion for a nursing career. I'm enjoying the reread.
