Summary

"Nursing in the Storm: Voices from Hurricane Katrina takes you inside six New Orleans hospitals - cut off from help for days by flooding - where nurses cared for patients around the clock. In this book, nurses from Hurricane Katrina share what they did, how they coped, what they lost, and what they are doing now in a city and health care infrastructure still rebuilding, still in jeopardy."--Jacket.
