Encounters Along a Career Line

This column will appear irregularly in the JOURNAL oF THE AMERICAN PSYCHIATRIC NURSES ASSOCIATION (JAPNA). It will present short descriptions of events that oc curred during a career as a professional nurse. Some experiences can be choreographed, or at least preplanned; others just happen, sometimes in quite improbable fashion. The interpersonal encounters to be described in this column actually happened. Names of deceased persons will sometimes be given; only titles will be used for living persons.

Nursing, of course, is a serious professional ser vice. But people are human. Experiences that are humorous, or even sad, do happen during a pro fessional career. None of the stories to be told in this column is about a patient. However, nurses, physicians, and others are often the subjects of the encounters to be described in upcoming issues of JAPNA. Each journal issue will contain only one short story about the lighter side of moving along the pathway of a professional nurse.

Many of the vignettes to be presented have only historical significance and little, if any, applica tion to nursing practice today. Thus, a learning theme is given in italics at the end of each story.
