Bio:
author of "The Hospital at the End of the World" a first hand account of teaching nursing in rural Nepal with Christian Missionaries
My book is not a "scholarly book" - it is narrative nonfiction written in the style of a novel. I chose this format because of the target audience, which is nurses who are thinking of volunteering overseas. This is a group that wants info on the total package of the experience; not just the disease entities and ethnographical culture, but the nursing care, dealing with stress, and the way the hospitals are run.
You can buy the book, as well as read reviews, on Amazon.com, goodreads, or Barnes & Noble.com.
more mundane details:
BS Nursing - U of Massachusetts at Amherst, 1977
MS Nursing U of California at San Francisco, 1981.
currently, faculty member at U of Hawaii at Manoa, undergraduate program (nursing). IN a past life I have been politcially active; beena middle manager of a hospital department ( ICU), and taught nursing. I am the first male RN who ever taught maternity nursing in the history of the state of Maine. jack-of-all-trades.
three summers teaching nursing at Tansen Nursing School in rural Nepal.
