I loved them -- and would you believe, my daughter still has them. I read them all over again just before I started nursing school, back in 1988. Nursing sure has changed from the 1940s, when those books were written! For instance, back then only the sickest patients got IVs, and the docs started them. Now just about everybody gets an IV, and the nurses start almost all of them.
