A Treasury of Nurse Stories

Here at last is a collection of stories which pays generous tribute to the members of a wonderful profession – the nurses – and to  those who share her dedicated life. Nurses in wartime and nurses on the home front --  the nurse on private duty and the hospital nurse – the night nurse and the day nurse – they are all here, with their unique problems and their often surprising  solutions … in an anthology which offers something for every reading taste.
