After a distinguished forty-year career in nursing, Jimmie Butts decided to retire from her position as manager of a high-tech firm¹s in-house family health practice. Instead of settling down for a comfortable retirement, however, Jimmie decided, with the support of her husband and family, that it was time for her to embark on new adventures.

Health Care in the Trenches not only recounts some of her experiences as a temporary-replacement family nurse practitioner in locations as diverse as Bethel, Alaska, and Morenci, Arizona, but also what she learned during those seven years about the art of nursing and the present state of American health care.
