Synopsis:

Off the Record is the unauthorized, unfolding, real-time account of an army nurse's year-long tour in Vietnam. She captured her reflections within a day, or even minutes of the conflicts and encounters, creating a sequentially unfolding and captivating account. Also a budding photographer, she shares her private photographs from that time. This personal journal reveals how combat conditions, weather, cultural differences, and social isolation impacted morale and individual performance. Her life and the lives of so many others-soldiers, civilians, POWs, and children-were forever lost or changed. This gripping and moving journal will transport the reader to a war-torn land in 1967. She grapples with types of injuries, pattern and frequency of casualties, and both patient and care provider responses to these traumas.

War isn't just about blood and guts-it's about people suffering.

About the Author: A native western New York farm girl, Colonel Ferington invested heavily in both the civilian and military components of a career in Psych-Mental Health nursing.

In her role as educator and clinician, she engaged both students and patients across all major age groups at Big Ten universities and in the Army. She attended the State University of New York at Buffalo, graduating in 1960, and achieved a PhD in Nursing in 1983.
