Two busy days put me behind. In honor of #NursesDay I'm posting books lent to me by my friend who's a nurse and an all around awesome person.

#MagicalMay #NursesDay

I loved Sue Barton books when I was a kid. Even then I knew I would never make it as a nurse (too squeamish!) but I enjoyed her hospital adventures.

Eggs How sweet! 4y

It‘s sexist and basically an ad for Band-aids, but I loved this book as a kid. #nursesday #magicalMay @Eggs

Leftcoastzen 😂Funny/ Not Funny . I have revisited kids books I loved and sometimes said “Hey , wait ,this is propaganda!” 4y
Eggs I loved this book too! But our memories are what they are. 4y
Texreader @Leftcoastzen @eggs What kid can resist putting “stickers” on their bodies? I‘m mean yes it‘s propaganda, but it didn‘t have to try real hard. 🤣🤣🤣 4y
rubyslippersreads I ❤️ Little Golden Books. 😊 4y
Lcsmcat @Leftcoastzen @Eggs @Texreader @rubyslippersreads How funny that so many of us remember this book. It is odd what grabs us as kids. 4y

Death of a Nurse | M. C. Beaton

Not exactly the right sentiment for #NursesDay 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️ but first nurse book I thought of that hasn‘t already been posted today.

Hats off 🎩 to all the wonderful nurses for the heroic job they are doing, especially those holding the hands of the dying where family can‘t be there due to the virus. 😢 Will be out clapping again tomorrow night at 8 o‘clock for the job they are all doing.

#nursesday #MagicalMay A huge thank you to all the real life nurses who are working beyond all expectations in these challenging times. My favorite fictional nurse is Jenny Fields played by Glenn
Close .This is one case where I love the movie as much as the book. The incomparable John Lithgow plays the transgender ex football player , Roberta Muldoon. I feel Irving was ahead of his time , looking at morals & ethics from more than 1 perspective.

Andrew65 Love this film and book. 4y
Amiable Yes!! Love Jenny Fields and Garp! (edited) 4y
plemmdog I fell in love with Irving the moment I read this in 8th grade, when it first came out. I think he‘s largely unappreciated now, but he was the bomb in the 1970s-80s. 4y
Leftcoastzen @plemmdog I was always a reader , but when I read this years ago , it just had that special mix that made me want to read more.At times this book is funny , tragic ,absurd, and thought provoking. Irving‘s always a great one for quotable lines that capture his quirkiness. 4y

Honoring and appreciating all healthcare workers and support staff on this National #NursesDay. We owe you so much. Thank you. My mom, who was a nurse, bought the whole Cherry Ames series for me when I was growing up. We gave them away to our younger neighbor girls. I've only replaced these two. #MagicalMay @Eggs

mcipher I loved these when I was a kid - my mom is a nurse and had a bunch. Such good reading memories of her and Nancy and some other oldies 🥰 4y
Eggs We are so imprinted by the books we read as youngsters 4y
batsy Love seeing those vintage covers! 4y
lynneamch @mcipher So proud of our nurse moms. Another oldies book series fave was 4y

#MagicalMay #NursesDay

Nurses are amazing & should be honored every day. When I was really young this was a favorite book. Nancy wants to be a nurse & takes care of people, pets & her toys & eventually gets her own candy striper uniform. I got the book with a candy striper uniform for my birthday & was so excited. Then I realized that I didn‘t like blood & was deathly afraid of needles & I gave up that career goal (but I still loved the book!)🤗

Eggs What a sweet book 👩🏽‍⚕️ 4y

Not the most exemplary example for #NursesDay but the first literary one that popped into my head! Really, though, we can‘t thank our nurses enough what they are doing for us all at the moment.

Beatlefan129 I‘m out of direct patient care as well, in my current role I‘m the nurse manager of a regional Poison Control Center. It‘s fascinating work (telephone triage) and I‘m happy to have found my niche in the nursing field 4y

Currently working Adult Covid ICU and step down like all the nurses in my NYC hospital. We‘re hoping to have the kids back on June 15th or shortly after. I can‘t wait. 4y
