Publisher's Synopsis
"Nurse Colleen isn't a woman─she's a nurse!" With that simple statement, one of my campers summed it up perfectly. In a life full of change, nursing is the constant. Whether sleeping in a Mexican hospital, wrestling an inflatable alligator, dispensing prunes, or supporting parents as their child is taken off life support, the unforgettable moments in my life are found in nursing. To me, nursing is a calling. It's the job I was born to do and the role that defines me. I wouldn't have it any other way. The Scenic Route is the story of my life-long journey through nursing: the laughter, tears, joy, and pain that come with the choice to serve others. This book gives readers a glimpse behind the scenes of child psychiatry, developmental disabilities, pediatric critical care, camp nursing, and legal nurse consulting. Welcome to my world. Colleen Lanier is a registered nurse with a private consulting firm. She lives in Florida, where she works, volunteers, writes, and continues her quest for the perfect cup of coffee. The Scenic Route is her second published work. Her first book, Miles from Home: A True Story of the Choices that Define Us is in its third printing, with over 40,000 copies in circulation.
