Questions and Answers
Question 1
Josephine: What are your favorite memories of nursing school from your Student days?
Farouk: There are a lot of memories back when I was a student nurse that I still cherish even today. But one of my most favorite memories was when I met Linda Harman, a very influential person in the nursing education, in a nursing event in Orange County. I was fascinated by her talk during the event and after the event I managed to have a conversation with her. I could believe it is the same Linda whom I usually read her research work back in school.
Josephine: I have also read a lot of journals written by Linda Harman; you must have been lucky to meet her and talk to her just like I am now, after talking with you….please click the purchase button to access the entire solution at $10
