It was fun to follow Cherry's story, how she made friends and found her place in the new environment.
This was super fun to read, so nostalgic.

Dublin, World War I and Spanish flu epidemic. Nurse / midwife Julia Power works on a maternity / fever ward with women sick with the flu and giving birth.
It was quite interesting to read as a nurse and primigravida myself 😄 I enjoyed both the medical aspects and the characters.
Current #audiostitching project: still unrecognizable 😅

Cherry is Chief Nurse of an evacuation hospital on an island in the South Pacific. These early novels actively implore girls to study nursing so they can join the war effort. Cherry and her troop of nurses get bombed and treat soldiers close to the combat zone. It‘s a reminder how fierce and tenuous the war was with Japan. Unforgivable: the derogatory language about Japan. I can‘t wait until Cherry has adventures in civilian nursing. 🌴
Sorry for being MIA on Litsy. I‘ve been busy with work and reading. Cherry joins the army in book 3 of the series. She survives basic training and gets deployed to Central America. She blindly trusts the “miracles” of science and medicine which probably led to toxic chemicals being used to combat malaria. If only public health work were that simple…
This was a reread for me in my quest to read the entire Cherry Ames series in order. It surprised me how much I forgot! I only remembered the exciting stolen penicillin plot, but the heart of the novel is Cherry‘s love of all things nursing. She gets a taste of ward management, OR, L&D, and PACU. 💊
This is my first Adriana Trigiani. Reading this with a friend for a friendly book club. I met Ms. Trigiani in October 2023 and she is an amazing human being!
My father gave me some Cherry Ames novels after I became a nurse (10 years ago!!!). I‘ve decided to read them all in order for the first time. The first book in the series gave me all the feels about nursing fundamentals (bathing, vital signs, making beds, dressing changes, etc.). I got a little teary when Cherry earned her bandage scissors. I will read book 2 next month if anyone wants to join me! #CherryAmes #Nurse 🏥
