Nurse, Please!!: Fifty Incredible Years as a Rural Kansas Nurse

Nurse, Please!! chronicles the believable and unbelievable stories of rural medicine. Follow Rose Holcomb through nurse's training, then on to office practice, and finally to the night shift of a rural Kansas hospital in the 1950s. Along the way, experience some of the things that she experienced: the lady who gave birth and two months later gave birth again; the doctor's office where no appointment was necessary, prescriptions were filled and left inside the screen door for pick up after hours; the emergency operation that required transfusions of a rare blood type and where community volunteer blood donors with that type just happened to be at the hospital for a scheduled operation on someone else. Read the incredible story of how nursing in rural America has changed from the fifties until now.Holcomb, Rose is the author of 'Nurse, Please!!: Fifty Incredible Years as a Rural Kansas Nurse', published 2002 under ISBN 9780972430500 and ISBN 0972430504.
