Defining Hope: A Tribute to Nurses

In 2012, photographer Carolyn Jones was commissioned to create The American Nurse Project, interviewing, filming, and photographing over 100 nurses across the U.S., after her own fight with breast cancer. She was inspired by her chemo nurse, Joanne Staha, who not only made her feel more normal during treatment, but reminded her that eventually she would heal and her life would go back to normal. Over the course of five years' worth of these interviews, Carolyn created a book and a feature documentary focusing on the extraordinary work nurses are doing across the country. Her work celebrates both the diversity of people in the profession of nursing, as well as the common bonds they share in the care of their patients.
