Hi, I'm Deborah Lauder Author of White Nylons. This book is a work of fiction and some non-fiction based on my journey through nursing school from 1983 to 1985.

​

I graduated from Columbus Technical Institute in Columbus Ohio on September 13, 1985 and went on to get my BSN from Otterbein University in Westerville Ohio.

​

My nursing career included: staff RN positions at the hospital in oncology, renal, post op surgical floors, and general surgery floors. I have worked in medical sales, nursing home administration, a small free standing eye surgery center and in home health care before retiring.

​

After a wonderful career in nursing, I am now retired and living in Delaware, Ohio. I have been married to my best friend and soul mate for 32 years and we are still having fun. I now enjoy biking, golf and art.  My son married a wonderful girl and I now have a beautiful granddaughter and twin grandsons.
