More Moments in Time

Within most disciplines, there are those who are recognized by their colleagues as being exceptionally competent practitioners. These people do their work in such a remarkable way as to become a model for others. This book is based on a study of the beliefs, actions, and interactions of a group of extraordinary oncology nurses -- the nurses their peers would choose to have care for them if they were diagnosed with cancer. Perry's weaving of narrative, comments, field notes, poetry, and photography creates a very personal and unique perspective on nursing that leaves the reader with a greater understanding of the experience, and rewards, of caring for others.
