Blossoming of a Nightingale
Introduction
For Irene ONeill, breaking free from her sheltered childhood and strict father is not a choice—it's a necessity. After promising her father she’d focus solely on her studies, Irene packs her bags for one of the most prestigious hospital-based nursing programs in America.
Entering the World of Manhattan and Bellevue Nursing School
Little did she know how utterly unprepared she was to enter the progressive and fast-paced world in Manhattan and Bellevue Nursing School. Irene stumbles, bumbles, and bluffs her way through classes and scenarios she doesn’t completely understand and finds herself mistaking bedpans for food trays and syringes for IVs!
The Challenge of Staying True
But can Irene manage to keep her promise to her father and focus only on her studies in the midst of all Manhattan’s distractions? She tries hard to hold true to her morals, but Bellevue’s biggest temptations—a male nurse and a stockbroker who seem focused entirely on her—make this promise almost impossible to maintain.
The Love Triangle
For the first time in her young life, Irene finds herself trapped in a love triangle between her patient and sweet colleague, Ray, and the smooth and powerful stockbroker, Steve. Will this inexperienced Nightingale lose herself amid New York City’s wild 60s? Will Studio 54, war protests, and free love change the woman she saw in the mirror for her entire life?
Conclusion
And will one of these men win her heart—or will they end up ruining her dream of becoming a successful nurse?
