The 2003 Schering Lecture: Improving our practice: A time for oncology nursing leadership
Abstract
From a distance, the world looks blue and green,
and the snow caped mountains, white.
From a distance, the ocean meets the stream,
and the Eagle takes to fly.
From a distance, there is harmony, and it echoes through the land,
It’s the voice of hope,
It’s the voice of peace,
It’s the voice of every man.
(Julie Gold)
