This brief series follows sixteen-year-old Nancy from her painfully uncertain early days as a nurse's aide at Mercy Hospital through her decision to become a nurse and her first two years in nursing school.

Nancy is unusual among the pantheon of nurse heroines because she's not a stellar student, and sometimes she behaves quite foolishly.
