This is not your female nurse in a white dress uniform wearing a nurses cap, but both male and female nurses wearing colorful scrubs as they work in a variety of locations, hospitals, long-term care facilities, and summer camps, six in all. Page 25 states some of the qualities a nurse needs: being able to work on a team, speaking skills, staying calm in an emergency, and some math. Includes "A Day as a Nurse" at the end of the book before the glossary and index.
