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.

Dublin, World War I and Spanish flu epidemic. Nurse / midwife Julia Power works on a maternity / fever ward with women sick with the flu and giving birth.
It was quite interesting to read as a nurse and primigravida myself 😄 I enjoyed both the medical aspects and the characters.
Current #audiostitching project: still unrecognizable 😅

Cherry is Chief Nurse of an evacuation hospital on an island in the South Pacific. These early novels actively implore girls to study nursing so they can join the war effort. Cherry and her troop of nurses get bombed and treat soldiers close to the combat zone. It‘s a reminder how fierce and tenuous the war was with Japan. Unforgivable: the derogatory language about Japan. I can‘t wait until Cherry has adventures in civilian nursing. 🌴

TheBookHippie Just finished today 😬😳🤯 I‘m ready to move on to the next one whew.. 7mo

TheBookHippie Wait. This came out before WWII ended or no? 7mo
catiewithac @TheBookHippie yes this was published in 1944. She‘s a flight nurse next and then a veterans nurse. So the end of the war is coming up! 7mo
TheBookHippie @catiewithac I‘m looking forward to more. I‘m prepared now!!! 🤭😳 (edited) 7mo
Amiable Such nostalgia! My sister loved these books when we were kids and found a box of them in our grandma‘s attic. 7mo

Sorry for being MIA on Litsy. I‘ve been busy with work and reading. Cherry joins the army in book 3 of the series. She survives basic training and gets deployed to Central America. She blindly trusts the “miracles” of science and medicine which probably led to toxic chemicals being used to combat malaria. If only public health work were that simple…

TheBookHippie I got book 3 for the weekend read! 🤣😵‍💫😳🙃😱 8mo
ElizaMarie I've never read these books before! I think I'm gonna give it a try :) 8mo

This was a reread for me in my quest to read the entire Cherry Ames series in order. It surprised me how much I forgot! I only remembered the exciting stolen penicillin plot, but the heart of the novel is Cherry‘s love of all things nursing. She gets a taste of ward management, OR, L&D, and PACU. 💊

dabbe I'll have to find a way to fit her in after Nancy Drew! 🤩😍😘 9mo
iread2much Those look like a lot of fun! 9mo
kwmg40 I remember enjoying reading these when I was young! 8mo

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 🏥

BethM I collect the originals! Great stories! 11mo
TheBookHippie I‘m reading this morning! 11mo
PageShifter My library had at least the two first in the series, I am going to try them! 11mo
MemoirsForMe What a cool series! Craig may enjoy these too. And is that a Peter Falk memoir I see on your shelf? 11mo
