As Florence Nightingale famously stated, “Nursing is learned at the bedside; books are only its supplements.” Since 1859, when the Lady with the Lamp uttered these words, countless nurses across the world have continued to bring healing to patients and to serve as the light that illuminates their path. Each patient, inscribed in the ledger of memories, has contributed new experiences. Compiled with the belief that experience is the best teacher, Nursing Memoirs is a unique volume that brings together the professional recollections of veteran nurses, newly graduated nurses, and nursing students still in training. Within these pages filled with anecdotes that both amuse and provoke reflection you will gain new insights into the profession while learning to view nursing from a fresh perspective.
