Sally B. Olds was the quintessential nurse and teacher

She saw possibilities where others saw problems, abilities where others saw limitations.

She cared passionately about childbearing families and had a clear vision of what excellent nursing means.

She stressed the importance of clinical skill and acumen but never lost sight of the human side of caregiving.

She was committed to students, to helping them to learn and grow, to develop their own sense of the difference a nurse can make.

She was the best of the best of nursing.

And so, with the deepest affection and respect we dedicate this book to Sally, who was our dear friend and colleague, who left this world too soon.

We thank her for the inspiration she provided, the warmth she brought, and the expertise she shared.

And, as always, to our beloved families
