Ex-library. Original sage green cloth binding with gilt lettering on maroon inked spine. Spine is worn at edges and at catalog number. Light scuffing to boards and corners. Contains the marks of the Gary Memorial Library at Vermont College, and the Heaton Hospital Nurse's Library, including bookplate and stamps. Minor dampstaining to pages. This midcentury book was intended to help nurses understand their career options in an accessible and personal way, with advice about professional growth, weighing advantages and disadvantages to particular jobs, details about how to apply to openings, and bibliographies for further research. It is told in part through conversations with nurses in different careers, and it provides typical days and schedules for rural and urban work, different medical specialties, private and public practice, and more. It also includes anecdotal information from other nurses about their salaries, accommodations, and opportunities for promotion. Dorothy Deming (1893–1972) was an American nurse and writer who wrote the Penny Marsh books on public health nursing as a career. She was born in New Haven, educated at Vassar College, and went on to attend Yale before graduating from the Presbyterian Hospital School of Nursing in New York in 1920. In 1924 Deming was the first director of the Holyoke Visiting Nurse association, then became the assistant to the director of the National Organization for Public Health Nursing in 1927. She edited the journal Public Health Nursing between 1935 and 1942. From the nursing history collection of Sarah Abrams. Hardcover, acceptable condition. 351 pages, octavo.…
