Moments in Time: Images of Exemplary Nursing Care

The stories on this site were collected during my PhD research related to exemplary palliative nursing care. They were first published in a book called Moments in Time: Images of Exemplary Nursing Care (1998). This website is part of a research project looking at the use of the Internet for conducting qualitative research. My goal is to see if I can collect stories from nurses around the world who are providing exemplary nursing care in a variety of specializations. If you would like to know more about this research project, or if you would like to contribute a story, please email me at bethp@athabascau.ca.

Thank you for your interest in this project. I applaud all of the fine work that you do as exemplary caregivers.

Beth Perry RN, PhD
