Book Overview

In Army Nurse, Cherry has made the difficult decision facing all her classmates - should she enlist in the military or practice nursing on the homefront? She's graduated from Spencer and earned the right to put RN after her name, and as an Army nurse, she is now Lieutenant Ames. The Army nurses are also soldiers, and endure a grueling basic training under the harsh Sergeant Deake (whom Cherry nicknames Lovey, much to his chagrin). No one...

Cherry Ames Enters WWII

Cherry Ames and her fellow Spencer Nursing School nurses all enlist in the Army in World War II. This is the third book in the Cherry Ames series...and I have loved all of them. Although set in a more "simplistic time", this book shows what a patriotic nurse Cherry is. She, and her fellow nurses, face difficult times during the war...but come through it with each others help. I am an RN with many years experience, and I wonder what kind of nurse I would have been during WWII. Could I have gone to war with the yearning to help that Cherry has? I hope so. Cherry is a wonderful role model, and these are wonderful books.

My Hero

Cherry's adventures in nursing and her idealism would encourage many children to consider nursing as a career. Lot's of fun.

Cherry Ames: Army Nurse

I give this 4 stars taking into consideration when it was written. By that I mean that it is perhaps a snapshot of "nursing" from the time and all the Cherry Ames books should be taken for what they are, a romp, through the eyes of Miss Ames, RN. Don't take them too seriously, just enjoy the ride. Some of the situations seem contrived and silly by current standards, but its a quick light entertaining read and there's nothing else like them that I'm aware of - a young, bright, independent female character moving from one nursing adventure to another enjoying her career and learning about life as she goes. No gratuitous sex or violence. - Fun!

One of the best "Cherry's"...

I started to read Cherry Ames when I bought one from a used bookstore a couple of years ago. I bought Cherry Ames, Army Nurse because of its cover(I know, I know). She looked very excited and happy there, so I had to join her. It was a great continuation of the first two books in the series, and gave a real look of how Army nurses trained back then. From her first time at the base, to training, to a special ending, I wouldn't change a thing about the book. It was good all around.

A snapshot of nursing history

The Cherry Ames books give a glimpse into the history of nursing. Cherry is attractive, smart, savvy, organized and detailed - everything a nurse should seem to be!
