Don't Have Your Baby in the Dory!: A Biography of Nurse Myra Bennett - Softcover

Synopsis

"It's tempting Providence, it is!" he kept saying. "Sail this here ship on Friday the thirteenth? With all them blinkin' mines still loose in the sea? It's only askin' for trouble, that s all!"

This was the warning given to Nurse Myra Grimsley in 1921 prior to her departure from England to her new assignment in Newfoundland. In May of that year, she arrived in the small fishing hamlet of Daniel's Harbour, which remained her home for the rest of her life. Here she became the only medical help along 200 miles of storm-swept coast and an invaluable member of this spread-out community. Half a century later, Myra Bennett was still nursing and enjoying the "unexpected" adventures of her profession.

Myra Bennett (1890-1990) has received numerous awards and titles of distinction for her work, including a doctorate of science, Member of the Order of the British Empire, and Member of the Order of Canada. Her life story has been documented for print and television and adapted for the stage.

Biography

I have enjoyed being a nurse since 1981. I have a diverse resume extending from Residential Care to ICU/CCU and into community health including clinic and school nursing. I have had the joy of teaching across multiple levels of nursing including CNA, LPN, ADN and BSN. I enjoy assisting individuals to attain their goals in nursing.

I have been able to nurture my inner actress-nurse-educator through the opportunities found only in simulated learning. I feel very fortunate to be able to focus my teaching in this area and strive to make every learning opportunity as realistic and memorable as possible.
