Product Description
 Cherry Ames is back, just as you remember her! The books are just as you remember them, retaining the same look, feel, and sense of adventure and patriotism as when they were first published. With fully illustrated color covers and a soft-finished hardcover format just like the originals, these books will transport you back to the days when you were reading about this spunky young nurse. Series editor and registered nurse Harriet Forman was inspired by, and remains a devoted fan of, Cherry Ames: "...I was going to follow in her footsteps and become a nurse--nothing else would do." In Army Nurse, Cherry has made the difficult decision facing all her classmates - should she enlist in the military or practice nursing on the homefront? She's graduated from Spencer and earned the right to put "RN" after her name, and as an Army nurse, she is now "Lieutenant Ames." The Army nurses are also soldiers, and endure a grueling basic training under the harsh Sergeant Deake (whom Cherry nicknames "Lovey," much to his chagrin). No one knows where the Spencer unit will be deployed until they are shipped off without warning - to Panama City. Who is the mysterious old Indian whom Cherry and her corpsman Bunce find collapsed in an abandoned house? He is obviously very ill, but with what? Can Dr. Joe's newly developed serum help? Springer Publishing Company is delighted to be bringing Helen Wells's beloved heroine back into print for a new generation of younger readers (as well as a host of nostalgic older ones). The books are available as beautifully rendered facsimile hardcover editions and in boxed sets of four. We intend to have all of the Helen Wells books back in print by early 2008.

The Cherry Ames books give a glimpse into the history of nursing. Cherry is attractive, smart, savvy, organized and detailed - everything a nurse should seem to be!

• My Hero 09 March, 2006
Cherry's adventures in nursing and her idealism would encourage many children to consider nursing as a career. Lot's of fun.

• Cherry Ames: Army Nurse 21 January, 2003
I give this 4 stars taking into consideration when it was written. By that I mean that it is perhaps a snapshot of "nursing" from the time and all the Cherry Ames books should be taken for what they are, a romp, through the eyes of Miss Ames, RN. Don't take them too seriously, just enjoy the ride. Some of the situations seem contrived and silly by current standards, but its a quick light entertaining read and there's nothing else like them that I'm aware of - a young, bright, independent female character moving from one nursing adventure to another enjoying her career and learning about life as she goes. No gratuitous sex or violence. - Fun!

• Kind Of Boring If You've Never Had Medical Training... 13 August, 2003
Okay, im a BIG collector of Grosset and Dunlap and other publishers Childrens Books from the 1910's, all the way to the 1960's (Exspecially Mystery Ones), from Nancy Drew, to The Rover Boys. I was out Antiqeing when I found "Cherry Ames: Seinor Nurse" (I had to write a Review about it Here because theres no page for it!), w/ it's dust-jaket in good condition, for a really good price. I've heared wonderful thing's about the series, so I decided to give it a shot. I don't know if it was because I never read the first one, or what, but I never really could get into it. Things eventually started to move along...Before I just decided to quit reading. Because I don't know much about being a nurse, and medical techniques, yadda, yadda, yadda, I found this book a bit confusing at times...Also, I just got bored stiff. The whole book is mainly about Cherry on Check-Ups, taking care of patients, and her assiting doctors in the operating room. As you can see, this is exactly fascinating reading. All in all, I think I'll stick to mysterys instead of medical guides...

• One Of The Best "cherry's"... 03 July, 2001
I started to read Cherry Ames when I bought one from a used bookstore a couple of years ago. I bought Cherry Ames, Army Nurse because of its cover(I know, I know). She looked very excited and happy there, so I had to join her. It was a great continuation of the first two books in the series, and gave a real look of how Army nurses trained back then. From her first time at the base, to training, to a special ending, I wouldn't change a thing about the book. It was good all around.
