A native western New York farm girl, Colonel Ferington invested heavily in both the civilian and military components of a career in Psych-Mental Health nursing. OFF THE RECORD details her experiences while serving in Vietnam. In her role as educator and clinician, she engaged both students and patients across all major age groups at Big Ten universities and in the Army. She attended the State University of New York at Buffalo, graduating in 1960, and achieved a PhD in Nursing in 1983.
I am amazed at the dedication required to maintain an effort like this consistently for this length of time. And as it plainly shows, during a time already filled to the brim with activity, events, and a full life. Truly a Pepysian effort! More than any other writings I have seen, this gives a clear and comprehensive view of the actual experience of Army Nurses in Vietnam, replete with the details like Repl Depot, hootch outfitting, waiting for orders, shortages, memorable patients, coping mechanisms, R&R, ward management, etc. This is a valuable historical resource.-Colonel Nickey McCasland Ret, US Army Nurse Corps
