Beyond Nurses Notes – A Journey to Choose Life by Mary M. Hale (RNC, MSN, SRN, SCM), intertwines
her stories from Pediatrics and Obstetrics over a period of 27 years of her service at Albert Einstein Medical
Center in Philadelphia, PA. She includes several anecdotes from her 10-year career working in Uganda under the
rule of the villainous leader Idi Amin, serving five of them as a nursing supervisor. Hale believes these
experiences with her patients in the United States and abroad taught her about humanity and made her the
person she is, allowing her to “choose life” for herself.
Hale also shares her journey through her surgical experience as a patient. In 2008, she chose life and survived
a six-week hospitalization for quadruple cardiac bypass surgery and a hysterectomy to eliminate cancer which was
successful. This is her second book about nursing.
Reviews
“Mary Hale’s ability to write about the unique nurse-patient relationship was evident throughout her years
at Albert Einstein Medical Center as the author of “Tales from the Comfort Basket” and “Maternity Matters.” This
insight is clearly demonstrated in her second book Beyond Nurses Notes - A Journey to Choose Life, as she reflects
on her extensive career in Pediatrics and Maternity. Mary Hale once again captures the essence of nursing with
imagination, wonder and a well-honed sense of humor. As a professional colleague in nursing, I eagerly await her
third book!”

“We first met Mary Hale in 1976, after seeing her riding her bike (in full nurse’s uniform!) through the
streets of Jinja, Uganda (East Africa). In Jinja, Mary not only worked as a nurse/midwife, but she went the extra
mile by teaching the local nurses enrolled in the Government-sponsored graduate nursing program. Just about everyone
in Jinja knew Mary and respected her.
We were delighted to hear that Mary had written another book - one which highlights her vast experience in the
medical field, stretching all the way from the hospitals of Africa right here to the Albert Einstein Medical Center
in Mary’s hometown, Philadelphia. We know that anyone who picks up her book and reads it will find it both
entertaining and enlightening.”
