Must read for maternal/child nurses and all those interested in nursing history

A must read for maternal/child nurses as well as all nurses interested in nursing history.

The book is written by an Exceptional Nurse....

"This is the captivating story of my great-grandmother Alice Ada Wood Ellis - who was a single mother with two small children - Myrtle who was 2 ½ years old and Marie who was a 6 month-old baby. She traveled to Seattle in 1900 on a locomotive steam train to join the Alaska-Yukon-Klondike Gold Rush Stampede. She built a home in Green Lake. Soon after she placed two beds in her front parlor in her home and helped women with birthing. She fufilled her calling as a pioneer midwife-nurse. This epic saga includes life in 1895 nursing schools, train robbers, birthing in the home, Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition, women's suffrage, bubonic plague and unclaimed children. Stories from the 1918 Great Pandemic Flu and the Great Depression conclude this remarkable journey. This is Alice's story."

Did you listen when they said you couldn't be a nurse?




       Derrick Coleman is the first deaf offensive player to ever play in the NFL.


He wasn’t drafted in 2012 in spite of a stellar career at UCLA. But this season, he is a fullback for the Seattle Seahawks.


Throughout his life, Derrick was picked last or not at all— and often told to quit.


He has been deaf since he was three…..so


he didn’t listen when they said it


couldn’t be done!



Did you listen when they said you couldn’t be a nurse?
