Nurse! nurse! : a student nurse's story

'Engaging, compassionate and often very moving' Daily MailA student nurse's storyAs punishment for some youthful high jinks, 16-year-old Jimmy Frazier is made to volunteer in a London hospital.

The experience shocks him, and he swears he will never set foot on a ward again. Two decades later, older but not a lot wiser, some strange twists of fate lead Jimmy back to hospital - but this time as a student nurse.

Along with a motley crew of fellow students, Jimmy throws himself into the heart of the NHS.

Whether caring for patients in children's hospitals, prisons, mental health facilities or post-surgical wards, Jimmy and his fellow students attempt to make a difference.

On their way they are inspired by the angelic Super Nurse and the acid-tongued Mr Temple.

But can they stick out the three years it takes to make the grade as a fully-qualified nurse...?
