Then everything changes and she finds herself wearing a fluorescent pink uniform and studying to get into Nursing School. What inspired this surprising change of direction?
Find out how Sarah Jane deals with births, deaths and everything in between with laughter, tears and humility in this touching, honestly written memoir.
5-star reviewers say:
“I laughed out loud at the hilarious antics, and was sobered by the genuine emotional moments that all health professionals will recognise. This is a book that will make you laugh and cry and you’ll feel better for it – The perfect prescription.” Bookworm
“This funny, yet poignant nursing memoir has Sarah Jane’s trademark honest writing style which shines through in every story she tells. From starting her student nurse training in Essex to coping with patients in happy, sad and heart-breaking situations. It gives you a young woman’s view into the realities of entering the world of nursing in the 1980’s. A highly entertaining and informative memoir which was able to take me from laughing out loud to having welled tears of empathy.”
