Can you think of any other skill that is always needed by everybody, ev- erywhere?” I was and still am a fan of Cherry Ames. Her cou- rageous dedication to her patients; her exciting escapades; her thirst for knowledge; her intelligent application of her nursing skills; and the respect she achieved as a registered nurse (RN) all made it clear to me that I was going to follow in her footsteps and become a nurse—nothing else would do. Thousands of other young readers were motivated by Cherry Ames to become RNs as well. Through her thought-provoking stories, Cherry Ames led a steady stream of students into schools of nursing across the coun- try well into the 1960s and 1970s when the series ended. Readers who remember enjoying these books in the past will take pleasure in reading them again vii viii FOREWORD now—whether or not they chose nursing as their life’s work. Perhaps they will share them with others and even motivate a person or two to choose nursing as their career. My nursing path has been rich and satisfying. I have delivered babies, cared for people in hospitals and in their homes, and saved lives. I have worked at the bed- side and served as an administrator, I have published journals, written articles, taught students, consulted, and given expert testimony. Never once did I regret my decision to become a nurse. During the time I was publishing a nursing jour- nal, I became acquainted with Robert Wells, brother of Helen Wells. In the course of conversation I learned that Ms. Wells had passed on and left the Cherry Ames copyright to Mr. Wells. Because there is a short- age of nurses here in the US today, I thought, “Why not bring Cherry back to motivate a whole new genera- tion of young people? Why not ask Mr. Wells for the copyright to Cherry Ames?” Mr. Wells agreed, and the republished series is dedicated both to Helen Wells, the original author, and to her brother, Robert Wells, who transferred the rights to me. I am proud to ensure the continuation of Cherry Ames into the twenty-fi rst century. The fi nal dedication is to you, both new and former readers of Cherry Ames: It is my dream that you enjoy Cherry’s nursing skills as well as her escapades. I hope that young readers will feel motivated to choose nursing FOREWORD ix as their life’s work. Remember, as Helen Wells her- self said: there’s no other skill that’s “always needed by everybody, everywhere.” Harriet Schulman Forman, RN, EdD Series Editor
