“Pat's quest to conquer the seven summits is an amazing story filled with high risk and personal satisfaction.  It is not a quest of wealth but of personal measurement and of opportunity to ensure a strong future for the profession of nursing.  I hope you enjoy joining Pat on his adventures to the 8 highest points in the world  - the seven mountain tops and the classroom full of nursing students.”
