Researched and written by nurses and historians, this unparalleled book brings together a vast body of research into one volume. Fourteen chapters and 28 vignettes, richly illustrated with fascinating archival photographs and paintings, form this compelling overview of Canadian nursing. This is a must for nurses, history buffs, and anyone whose life has been touched by a nurse.
