Download Not Your Average Nurse: The Entertaining True Story of a Student Nurse in 1970s London AudioBook Free
Award-winning novelist Maggie Groff shares tales of her richly diverse and at times unusual former medical profession. 'Over time, I nursed victims of war, the posh, the poor, the famous and the infamous.... Oh, the tales I can tell!' To a young girl, the life of a student nurse sounds exciting, but with long hours and brief shrift it's never easy. So when Maggie Groff embarks as a student nurse at London's King's College Clinic, she must quickly reach grips with the demands of her chosen profession. It's kitchen sink or swim. In a delightful romp through time, performed out against the march of feminism and the fashion, music and films of almost half a century previously, we follow Maggie's highs and lows as, with trial and far error, she becomes an experienced nurse and sets sail for a new life in Australia. Through the watchful gaze of stern ward sisters and the ordeals of medical at a poor housing house to becoming an commercial nurse at the iconic Sydney Opera House, Maggie shares her tales of mistakes and mayhem, tea and sympathy and the life-affirming moments that make it all worthwhile.
