This e-book reflects my attempt to understand, document and relay, through narrative and visual information, what nurses’ responsibilities and skills consist of, and what difference they make to the health of Salvadoreans. In trying to make nurses’ contributions to health-care more visible to the general public in Central America, Canada, and elsewhere, my hope is to illuminate how they are affected by limitations of both physical and human resources in the public system, and also how they make due with these constraints.
