Wilson was a diploma student herself, and also a nursing administrator and educator of both diploma students and the modern degree nursing student. Wilson gives a historical view of this unique era, lasting from the 1940's through the end of the 20th century. She invites you to take this three-year journey with this diploma student. You will find it humorous and heartwarming. A product of the era, this nurse was unique, with a special touch of grace. Though she is now fading from the hospital scene, may her legacy be remembered. |
