War Nurse Kathleen Margaret Gerrie

This is my journey as an Army nurse before, during, and after a war. During my first tour of duty and after a traumatic experience, a transformation began that allowed me to become the strongest woman I could be. This was a pivotal time that led me on the path to becoming an Army critical care nurse. Other things began to transpire during this time. For instance, while sleeping, I began having various, random, and very vivid nightmares about strangers being murdered. These nightmares seemed too detailed and vivid to not be real. Feeling compelled to help, I reached out to homicide detectives. Most detectives didn't accept this information, and on occasion, I was ridiculed. However, there were a couple of detectives that listened and worked with me on unsolved cases, resulting in closure for families.
