Meet NOLA the Nurse® & Friends!
NOLA the Nurse®, while there were a few books about nurses, there were none that encompassed the role I play so, I sought to create a diverse heroine that would pique my daughter’s interest. With this goal in mind, Nola the Nurse® was born.

The Story of NOLA the Nurse®
Nola the Nurse® is a seven-year-old girl who desperately wants to be a nurse practitioner, like her mom.
After seeing her mom take care of sick humans, she decides to take care of all her friends’ sick baby dolls.
The entire neighborhood soon realizes that Nola The Nurse® is a nurse practitioner in training and begin to call her when their dolls are in crisis.
Our mission of the Nola The Nurse® series is to educate as many children all over the world about the role of the Advanced Practice Nurse.
Our goal is to let children know that we are viable members of the healthcare team and that Nursing is the Number 1 trusted profession in America.
How can our kids aspire to be something they can’t see?
