Summary |
This is the story of a girlâÂÂs first year of training as a hospital nurse, by a writer who has only a first-hand knowledge of the subject, but is a most charming story-teller into the bargain. Red-headed Sue Barton, capable, energetic, impulsive, and warm-hearted, is the sister of every girl who ever longed to take up nursing as a career. She comes to the hospital a raw beginner and the story tells of her progress towards the âÂÂcapâ which is the sign of a fully-fledged nurse â the terrifying early days, the adventures in the wards, the mistakes and new experience; and also the friendship, and the sad and funny moments which are the human side of hospital life. Without parading her knowledge or dwelling upon the more painful aspect s of her subject, Helen Dore Boylston gives a faithful picture of life in a great hospital. -- Dust jacket |
