The Nurse’s Story is a unique amalgam of real experiences and true stories, creatively merged into the character of Teri Daley, a young nurse with idealism, who feels a genuine “calling” to help others. Teri is a new nurse, a real nurse — a nurse like you — who encounters people and situations she could never have imagined when she dreamed of being a nurse. Teri wanted to help people, to save people, but what she found was unimaginable and heartbreaking, yet in the end was nothing short of inspirational.
«Passionate and emotionally riveting, this story is one you won’t want to end.»
