Jungle medical improv no joke For many, summer is a time to hunker down and read a good novel. Instead, I'm re-reading a non-fiction history/action/adventure book about the untold story of #women (specifically focusing on the nurses) trapped in the Philippines during #WorldWarII , "We Band of Angels," by Elizabeth M. Norman. It's a reality page-turner, on all accounts.

When they don’t, I’ve found that taking a few moments to appreciate the positive things associated with nursing helps me get my head back in the game.
