Delivery. 'What is your name?' she asks, staring at me. 'Jennifer
Ross'. 'Jennifer Ross, Sister. Well, Nurse Ross, you are dressed in
the uniform of a nurse from the Leeds General Infirmary. Such a
uniform is not worn with a cardigan. Take it off at once'. 'Yes
Sister'. I can feel my face turn red. A trainee nurse in the 1950s
had a lot to bear. In Jennifer Craig's enchanting memoir, we meet
these warm-hearted yet naive young girls as they get to grips with
strict discipline, long hours and bodily fluids. But we also see
the camaraderie that develops in evening study sessions, sneaked
trips to the cinema and mischievous escapades with the young
trainee doctors. The harsh conditions prove too much for some
girls, but the opportunity to help her patients in their time of
need is too much of a pull for Jenny. As she commits to her
vocation and knuckles down to her exams, she is determined that
when she reaches the heights of Ward Sister herself she will not
become the frightening matron that struck fear into her student
heart .Rich in period detail, and told with a good dose of
Yorkshire humour, Yes Sister, No Sister is a life-affirming true
story of a life long past. Bookseller Inventory #

Jennifer Craig trained at Leeds General Infirmary and rose to become Ward Sister. She emigrated to Canada in 1961, where she married and had two children. Later she studied for a Bachelor's degree in nursing, followed by a Masters degree in education and finally a Ph.D. Ten years as an educational consultant in a medical school preceded semi-retirement when she became a student of homeopathy and obtained her diploma. She now lives in the mountains of British Columbia with a dog and a cat and is a student of writing.
