Chicken Soup for the Nurse's Soul

Still building on the long-running success of their Chicken Soup for the Soul series, Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen team up with co-editors Nancy Mitchell Autio and LeAnn Thieman, both nurses and previous contributors to the series, with Chicken Soup for the Nurse's Soul. This paean to nurses and their mission of caretaking is heartwarming, invigorating and may in some small way help reverse the current shortage of nurses nationwide.    Publisher's Weekly

Chicken Soup for the Nurse's Soul reminds me why I am so grateful to nurses for supporting me in my work and helping me to become the doctor I am today.

Chicken Soup for the Nurse's Soul  is a book long overdue  …      The authors have done nursing a wonderful service in bringing to light the touching, funny, heartfelt anecdotes shared by those at the bedside.   Sally Russell, M.N., R.N.,  Educational Director, Academy of Medical Surgical Nurses

A powerful and inspiring book! … This book will touch the heart and soul of novice and experienced nurses alike who share a  common value of preserving human dignity--in health and in illness.  Martha G. Lavender, RN, DSN, Professor and Dean of Nursing, Jacksonville State University

These stories gave me a wonderful sense of community among other nurses. I was able to relate to almost every story with a similar experience of my own. I was reminded over and over why I went into nursing and why I love what I do. I feel an increased pride in my profession  and a great  sense of  belonging to a universal  community of
caring.    Susan Goldberg, R.N.
