by Beatrice Warren, 1981

When it came to handling emergencies at the Dynamics Manufacturing Company, Nurse Cindy Nielsen was a top-notch professional. But when it came to running her own life, she was a disaster. After she lost her boyfriend Bruce to another woman, she fell in love with her boss, Dr. Kevin Bellinger, though she knew he was engaged to a rich, beautiful girl. Meanwhile, handsome Vance Wagner, one of Dynamics’ top engineers, tried to win Cindy’s heart — in vain. And by the time she began to have second thoughts about Vance, he too seemed interested in another woman.

Would Cindy never learn to appreciate a man — unless he belonged to someone else?

Organdy Cupcakes, The

by Mary Stolz, 1951

Gretchen Bemis was a little plump by some standards, but she was the kind of girl who usually set her own standards, and if she wanted to be noticed by a man — even in a baggy nurse’s uniform — she usually was. In fact, among the internes [sic] at Sibert Memorial Hospital she was affectionately known as “Bemis de Milo.”

Not all of Gretchen’s friends in the hospital were like her. Not the delicate Rosemary Joplin, who resented her stepmother because her face always looked as though her feet hurt, and because she was not charmingly helpless like the playmate-mother who had died when Rosemary was fourteen. Not Nelle Gibson, whose square figure and dun-colored hair had made her decide that, not being beautiful, she’d better be bright.

This is the story of senior year at nursing school, when Gretchen and her friends, realizing that they were now adult human beings, began to come to grips with their problems. It was an exciting time for them, and most of all, perhaps, for Gretchen. For her wish was granted in a way that was as unexpected as it was delightful, and graduation day brought to her more than the stiff organdy graduate cap, so like a cupcake, that was the prize for all her hard work.
