American Poet's Society:"The American Poet's Society has one mission...to discover extra-ordinary poetic talent in ordinary people. We are here to give ordinary people like you the opportunity to have their poems published. Not all who write poetry can be published or attain recognition through the general media. In the United States of America we believe in the freedom of speech. At the American Poetry Society, we too believe that everyone has the right to freedom of speech; that everyone deserves the chance to have their poem considered for publication. If your poem is published, you have the same chance of attaining the same recognition that the famous writers achieve. APS gives you this opportunity. Who knows, you may even be good enough to join our poetry society. All you need is the confidence in yourself and..a poem."

Between the Heartbeats: Poetry and Prose by Nurses (Paperback) by Joanne Trautmann Banks (Foreword), Cortney Davis (Editor), Judy Schaefer (Editor):"This collection of poetry, essays, and short stories by registered nurses has moved, inspired, and encouraged nurses here in the US and Canada and overseas. Many nurses, after reading this collection, have contacted me to say how these poems and stories reflect what they think and feel as they themselves are working with patients: the joys and moments of transcendance as well as the fears and frustrations. Nurses from all walks of healhcare--among them ICU nurses, homecare nurses, Hospice Nurses, OB/GYN nurses, Nursing Home nurses, office nurses--find words here that mirror what they feel during those amazing moments, the ones between the heartbeats, when they are standing by a patient's side."

CancerGuide: Inspirational Patient Stories:"When I was very ill and things looked their worst, nothing was more inspiring to me than reading about how other patients survived against the odds and coped with their situations. There are as many different ways to survive as there are patients, and so we can learn something different from each one. At the same time certain similarities, certain patterns emerge. Enough philosophy - here are the stories of some other patients - I hope you find inspiration and hope in them!"

She is very friendly and the old lady loves to hear her talk of her little girl and her life as she bustles around the room making the bed and cleaning the floor.

Not very many people had a reason to be on it, unless they were leaving. Most of his friends had already left. They had families to feed and dreams to fulfill. But he stayed on."
