The Baby Boomer Nurse

The author enthusiastically relates her dramatic, unforeseen nursing experiences while practicing in the most unusual places and under unusual circumstances. Her nursing practice unexpectedly took an entirely different pathwayfrom caring for patients in the hospital by the bedside to foreign lands and even in an aircraft. Considered blessed and privileged, she bravely applied her God-given skills and faced her challenges head-on. The book demonstrates how most of her challenges led to many adventurous experiences and quite a diverse education. The writer applied her experience from the other side, as a patient, to encourage and direct potential patients and their families in navigating the health care system to access appropriate and successful medical care. An avid believer in natural and alternative medicine, the writer struggled when confronted with the aggressive traditional treatments for a life-threatening illness. A realization that the nursing profession is that of an anyplace, anytime lifestyle.
