Description - Cherry Ames by Helen Wells

Cherry Ames is back, just as you remember her! The books are just as you remember them, retaining the same look, feel, and sense of adventure and patriotism as when they were first published. With fully illustrated color covers and a soft-finished hardcover format just like the originals, these books will transport you back to the days when you were reading about this spunky young nurse. Series editor and registered nurse Harriet Foreman was inspired by and remains a devoted fan of Cherry Ames: ""...I was going to follow in her footsteps and become a nurse-nothing else would do."" In ""Student Nurse"", Cherry starts nursing school at Spencer with a mixture of anxiety and anticipation - would she have what it takes to be a nurse? She leaves her quiet town of Hilton, Illinois for the bustle of hospital life, to meet challenges she wouldn't have imagined. The U.S. is at war. Many nurses have gone to the front, and there is a shortage of RNs at Spencer - which Cherry and her classmates help to fill, as they learn the skills they need to graduate. And, who is the mysterious patient in the secret room that no one seems to know anything about? Should Cherry risk expulsion to save his life?
