Mercy Hospital

Bernadette (Bernie) and her friends Shelley and Nichole are training as junior volunteers at busy Mercy Hospital and are facing one crisis after another. Shelley is working wonders with a sick little boy in Pediatrics, but she may have to leave Mercy to take a paying job. Bernie loves working as a volunteer, but it may cost her the friendship of a very special boy. And Nichole may not even make it through training—she tells everyone that she hates all the rules to being a volunteer and that she can't stand being around sick people. But Bernie knows her real problem: fear. Nichole is afraid she doesn't have what it takes to help people…until she encounters her first one-on-one experience with a difficult patient and finds out how much of a difference a good volunteer can make.
