Has intact dust jacket.non-fictionAlfred nurses have always been at the forefront of their profession - ready and willing to meet stringent training programs, war, fire, makeshift wards for epidemics and rapidly changing developments in medical science and technology. This is their story. The strength of the camaraderie shown among Alfred nurses at the celebrations that followed the graduation of the final group of trainees from the Alfred's School of Nursing led Helen Paterson to write this book. She follows the history of the Alfred nurses from the establishment of the Alfred Hospital in 1971, and the beginning of nurse training in 1880, to reveal the hardships, pleasures and intrigues shared by Alfred nurses in the past 130 years of history.

A paperback book with a blue spine, red and tan cover with a sepia photograph of two women in nurses uniforms. Writing on cover and spine is in black, blue and white.fictionIn 1942 a group of Australian Army nursing sisters was evacuated from Malaya a few days before the fall of Singapore. Two days later their ship was bombed and sunk by the Japanese. Of the fifty-three survivors who scrambled ashore, twenty-one were murdered and the remainder taken prisoner. This engrossing record was kept by one of the surviving sisters, Betty Jeffrey, during the three-and-a-half gruelling years of imprisonment that followed. It is a grim story of deprivation and harsh conditions, but its darkness is relieved by the humorous incidents that somehow helped the women to preserve their sanity. Their ingenious and entertaining attempts to make their lot more tolerable, and their comradeship as they faced so much anguish leave the reader with enormous admiration for their endurance and strength.
