Cherry Ames Student Nurse: Book 1
Cherry Ames Student Nurse: Book 1 | Helen Wells
6 posts | 9 read | 3 to read
In "Student Nurse," Cherry starts nursing school at Spencer with a mixture of anxiety and anticipation - would she have what it takes to be a nurse? She leaves her quiet town of Hilton, Illinois for the bustle of hospital life, to meet challenges she wouldn't have imagined. The U.S. is at war. Many nurses have gone to the front, and there is a shortage of RNs at Spencer-which Cherry and her classmates help to fill, as they learn the skills they need to graduate. And who is the mysterious patient in the secret room that no one seems to know anything about? Should Cherry risk expulsion to save his life?

It was fun to follow Cherry's story, how she made friends and found her place in the new environment.

This was super fun to read, so nostalgic.

My father gave me some Cherry Ames novels after I became a nurse (10 years ago!!!). I‘ve decided to read them all in order for the first time. The first book in the series gave me all the feels about nursing fundamentals (bathing, vital signs, making beds, dressing changes, etc.). I got a little teary when Cherry earned her bandage scissors. I will read book 2 next month if anyone wants to join me! #CherryAmes #Nurse 🏥

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

Anybody remember these? I used to read these at my Grandparent's house back in the day. I didn't realize they were published in the 40's.
