The Wake-Up Call

Beschreibung

In 1970, pampered, naïve, Philly-born Frannie is overwhelmed by the responsibilities of nursing school and college life in Dallas. A love-hate relationship erupts when Robin, her fiery, red-headed roommate, arrives from Chicago to find Frannie's belongings covering every inch of space in their room, and Frannie nowhere in sight. Adding fuel to the fire, Frannie pursues a relationship with a sophomore hunk whom Robin insists is pond scum. She ignores her suitemates' pleas to join their study group, insisting her high school achievements will guarantee her success in college. Frannie's wake-up call comes after nearly two semesters of disastrous decision-making. She finds herself flunking out and her nursing career ending before it begins. With support from an unexpected source, she faces the biggest decision of her life - one that no matter the outcome will upend her future.

Autor

Joy Don Baker and Terri Goodman were nursing students in the '70s, like the principal characters in their four novels. None of the Nursekeeters' exploits are based on the authors' personal experiences, however they remained true to the reality of that era. Baker & Goodman's mission is to give readers a glimpse of the nursing profession in the 1970s through diverse characters and meaningful stories. Both Baker and Goodman are well-established leaders in perioperative nursing and published authors in nursing professional literature. Dr. Baker teaches at the University of Texas at Arlington and served as the editor-in-chief of the AORN Journal. Dr. Goodman is an approved provider of continuing education credit and the owner of Terri Goodman & Associates. Baker and Goodman have also published the award-winning book A, B, & Cs of Author Partnering, the definitive how-to guide that leads readers through the process of creating a writing partnership, establishing a productive work environment, and producing a work of fiction, non-fiction, or a journal article.
