, Thank you to all the nursing students, nursing faculty, and nursing colleagues we
have had the privilege to work with during our careers.

of this and other Success series books for her contributions to all of the books.
Dr. Huttel lost her battle to cancer December 23, 2012.
I would like to dedicate this book to the memory of my mother, Mary Cadenhead,
and grandmother, Elsie Rogers. They always told me I could accomplish anything
I wanted to accomplish. I would also like to dedicate this book to my husband,
Larry; children, Laurie and Todd and Larry Jr. and Mai; and grandchildren,
Chris and Melissa, Ashley and Martin, Justin C., Justin A., Connor, Sawyer, and
Carson. Without their support and patience, this book would not have been possible.
—Kathryn Cadenhead Colgrove
This book is dedicated to my mother, Ellen Shomette, who showed me that hard
work and perseverance can make dreams come true; to my mother-in-law, Clara
June Doherty, RN, who lived her life with such kindness and generosity, an
inspiration for self-improvement every day; and to my husband and best friend,
Kevin Doherty, thank you for all the support and encouragement in all my
endeavors. You make everything worthwhile.
