Welcome to Litsy!

Two busy days put me behind. In honor of #NursesDay I'm posting books lent to me by my friend who's a nurse and an all around awesome person.

I loved Sue Barton books when I was a kid. Even then I knew I would never make it as a nurse (too squeamish!) but I enjoyed her hospital adventures.

It‘s sexist and basically an ad for Band-aids, but I loved this book as a kid. #nursesday #magicalMay @Eggs

Not exactly the right sentiment for #NursesDay 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️ but first nurse book I thought of that hasn‘t already been posted today.

Hats off 🎩 to all the wonderful nurses for the heroic job they are doing, especially those holding the hands of the dying where family can‘t be there due to the virus. 😢 Will be out clapping again tomorrow night at 8 o‘clock for the job they are all doing.

#nursesday #MagicalMay A huge thank you to all the real life nurses who are working beyond all expectations in these challenging times. My favorite fictional nurse is Jenny Fields played by Glenn
Close .This is one case where I love the movie as much as the book. The incomparable John Lithgow plays the transgender ex football player , Roberta Muldoon. I feel Irving was ahead of his time , looking at morals & ethics from more than 1 perspective.

Honoring and appreciating all healthcare workers and support staff on this National #NursesDay. We owe you so much. Thank you. My mom, who was a nurse, bought the whole Cherry Ames series for me when I was growing up. We gave them away to our younger neighbor girls. I've only replaced these two. #MagicalMay @Eggs

Nurses are amazing & should be honored every day. When I was really young this was a favorite book. Nancy wants to be a nurse & takes care of people, pets & her toys & eventually gets her own candy striper uniform. I got the book with a candy striper uniform for my birthday & was so excited. Then I realized that I didn‘t like blood & was deathly afraid of needles & I gave up that career goal (but I still loved the book!)🤗

Not the most exemplary example for #NursesDay but the first literary one that popped into my head! Really, though, we can‘t thank our nurses enough what they are doing for us all at the moment.

Happy #NursesDay to all of the hard working nurses out there fighting the fight!! YOU make the difference everyday! I know you don‘t get told enough that you are appreciated but YOU ARE!! I have been out of direct patient care for one year, a nurse for 23... I‘m praying for everyone 🙏🏻❤️ Drop your name in the comments and what area you work in!! Thank you for all you do!! ❤️🙏🏻💪🏻
