I took the opportunity to attend the premiere of the film May 8th, 2014 in Silver Springs MD, bringing my friend Elaine. What an inspiring night that was, re-igniting out nursing passions.
Meeting Carolyn and getting my copy "The American Nurse" book (given to me by my staff) signed by her and the nurses featured in the film was a highlight of 2014.
Carolyn's ability to capture nursing's essence in such a wide variety of nursing settings is truly amazing and unsurpassed in nursing's history.

The American Nurse Project is a documentary about US, nurses in the US. Carolyn Jones, an award-winning cinematographer helps to show what we do in our daily work. She traveled the country for a year collecting stories, pictures, and videos of nurses doing what they do and helping people understand what we do.
She interviewed hundreds of nurses in many specialties: home health nursing, disaster nursing, prison nursing, hospital nursing - all the places where we do our job. Via her movie, she brings the human element to the public as to what we do and take in stride. She honors nursing thru her journalistic efforts. The interviews are riveting:
