Sue Barton, Senior Nurse by Helen Dore Boylston

However, I also had to create entries and found images for some books that actually look potentially interesting.Īn enjoyable entry in the series, even though it's probably the one with the least amount of nursing content, as it's mostly about Sue's family, and a neighboring girl whose unhappiness Sue tries to resolve. I hope people will look at it, because it turned out to be far more work than I expected, so I want it to be appreciated! There are now lots more late 1940s picture books with 0 ratings listed on goodreads than there were before. The list of books recommended by Helen Dore Boylton and her collaborator that I mention at the end of this review is now complete. Are Sue's training and abilities wasted on all these daily and personal small problems? Her customary humor and warm good sense help her decide. And always something is happening at home for Sue and Bill and their faithful Veazie Ann to cope with - Jerry's strange tantrums, Johnny's disappearance in the woods with his little friend Anne, Tabitha's attempt to run away. She finds work for a disabled farmer she pinch-hits for the visiting nurse she helps bring the famous artist, Mona Stuart and her teenage daughter Cal together. Yet Sue finds herself using her talents in countless ways as she nurses the neighborhood. Sue is happy in her job as wife and mother until she goes to a reunion of her class in nursing school where the accomplishments of others make her feel as if she is stagnating.

Bill have three children: six-year-old Tabitha and the four-year-old twins, Johnny and Jerry. Sue Barton left her position as Superintendent of Nurses at the Springdale, New Hampshire Hospital in order to raise a family.
