Donna Yates-Adelman - Back to the Future with Florence Nightingale: The Nurse Gene

Imagine our future without Florence Nightingale. What will the world of nursing look like in 2025? Will we be able to respond with passion and compassion when so many demands pull us in so many ways? We are a mosaic of the choices that our nursing ancestors have made through history. What were those choices? What is our challenge today? How will developments in technology affect our compassion? Will our foundation hold up under the weight of the high-technology giant, which today is an unavoidable extension of science?

Donna will be signing copies of her book YES, SISTER, MEMOIR OF A YOUNG NURSE
