ISBN:  9781771175975 (pbk.) Alternate title:  Grenfell nurse Description:  159 pages : ill. ; 23 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  "Like other children of the 1930s, I read about the adventures of Sir Wilfred Grenfell, who worked among fishermen in a very cold, icy place way up north called Newfoundland and Labrador. It was many years later, during my student-nursing days at Columbia-Presbyterian in New York City, that I really learned what the Grenfell Mission was all about. I was intrigued at the thought of, someday, using my nursing skills there. After graduating, I remained at the medical centre for another year of nursing experience. In that time, I had gotten tired of the large city and yearned for a more adventurous working environment. Those earlier seeds about Grenfell had sprouted. In the summer of 1952, I signed up as an assistant nurse in St. Anthony, which would lead me to great adventures."--Rosalie Lombard. A collection of stories that share the experiences of a Grenfell nurse in the early 1950s in the subarctic climate of Newfoundland and Labrador: a train wreck, a dogsled trip, the delivery of a baby on board a coastal steamship, a harrowing sailing experience, a near-shipwreck in gale-force winds, and much more. Rosalie M. Lombard spent most of her career in some aspect of nursing. Following her two years in St. Anthony, she taught nursing at Columbia University. In retirement she lives in The Villages, Florida. Genre:  Memoirs.
