Cry of A Nurse tells of my life as a nurse and how I coped with the shortage of nurses. As you read my book you will see why there is a shortage of nurses, what is causing the shortage, and how nurses are coping with it. I want American's as well as the world to see what nurses are going through because of it and what can be done to end the shortages of nurses. I wrote this book to bring out the reality why there is a shortage, to help nurses and encourage all those appointed and anointed by God to become nurses, do not stay away but join the profession you know who you are. Especially if you have a great desire to help the sick. We are there but we do not want to be ignored or taken for granted. We want to be respected and appreciated. Call us and love us, that's all we ask. The Nurses
