"Thank you for creating this beautiful collection of nurses' stories. This book validated my feelings of my own experiences, thoughts, ambitions, concerns, challenges, and rewards in my career as a nurse. I wish I had read something like this when I first started my career. I also wish I could have given this book to every student, new graduate, and new hire I ever precepted."
