Nurse Jackie and Nurse Farid
The story behind these nurses is that I have had 7 surgeries due to complications from stomach cancer starting in October 2005 with the last surgery being November 2019. I always meant to make NURSE dolls but it finally was revealed to me that now is as important a time as ever to do so. Nurses are always on the front lines and the backbone of hospitals and a lot of time they get little or no recognition for the hard work and dedication they bring to their jobs.
