About This Book
The gentle rustle of a nurse’s scrubs fills the air as soft footsteps hurry down bright hospital halls. You can almost smell the clean, fresh scent of antiseptic and hear the comforting beep of machines nearby. Being a nurse means caring for others in many places — but the biggest feeling is kindness.
