Dorothy Porter began her nursing career in 1957, attending a baccalaureate program through Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois. After becoming registered as an RN, her career was filled with a variety of experiences in different settings. Follow her as she grows from being a task-oriented nurse to a mature, healthy woman able to connect with people in a creative, intimate way, to bring them comfort, hope, and growth in their understanding of life. The book also chronicles the many changes that occurred over time in the nursing field, especially after the development of plastics and technology.
I trust that you will enjoy the stories about the students I taught and the patients who were in my care.
