An evocative memoir that paints a rich historical picture of life as a district nurse in a close-nit rural community setting in the mid-1970s and 80s. The author presents a fascinating set of memoirs that capture the essence of a district nurse at this time. Presenting the challenges of coping with a young family to live and work as an outsider within a community, winning trust, and respect, whilst adapting to the challenges of working in a rural community, before days of central heating, mobile or in some circumstances house phones. The memoirs present a series of heart-warming, encounters, portraying a picture of a committed nurse, becoming a community champion and visionary pioneer in the development of much needed community services. The stories of engagement with all-age community members present a strong historical context of the nursing role. In some ways very different to current nursing practice, reflecting the evolution of nursing and development of nursing, medical and technological knowledge to underpin the principles of knowledgeable, empowered, and informed practice.

When reading real-life stories about nursing, you might not expect mentions of fox fur coats or cages full of snakes (“five feet long and very skinny”). Yet these amusing vignettes sit alongside harrowing tales of plane crashes and time-honoured memories of Florence Nightingale. Front Line Nursing Stories is a compelling anthology of first-hand accounts longtime nurse and author Marian Facciolo collected from women who have worked in hospitals, care homes, communities, and prisons from the 1940s to present day, coping with the COVID-19 pandemic. The substance of these stories remain faithful to the nursing profession, without venturing too deep into technical terminology. At the same time, Facciolo asks readers to consider whether supports for the increased expectations of the profession (education, skills, workload) have kept pace. Front Line Nursing Stories is an eye-opening look at the evolution of healing as a profession, poignantly and pointedly shared through the eyes of women who have helped babies draw their first breaths and comforted palliative patients so they can die with dignity. Facciolo’s book, at its core, is a tribute to the power of compassion and humanity, perhaps at a time in the world when it is needed most.

Leonie Howie and Adele Robertson live and work on remote Great Barrier Island-so called because it faces the full brunt of the wild Pacific weather and acts as a barrier for the mainland about 100 kilometres away. With a population of about 1000, no reticulated electricity, no ATM machine, no street lights and one pub, this is a wildly beautiful place. It has a long history of farming, whaling and fishing, and the people who live here are a resilient lot, proud of their community. Midwifery and nursing on a remote island bring a wide range of dramas and emergencies, and here Adele and Leonie share the islanders' stories-sometimes tragic, sometimes happy, sometimes funny-from over 30 years of challenging yet uplifting work.
