A Nurse in Action - Softcover
Surprising Matron as well as herself, Evelyn Prentis managed to pass her Finals and become a staff-nurse. Encouraged, she took the brave leap of moving from Nottingham to London, just as war was about to break. The nurses had to cope with stray bombs, influxes of patients from as far away as Dunkirk and the entertainment of the RAF men stationed nearby. This is a warm and compelling account of wartime nursing.

About the Author:
Brought up in Lincolnshire, Evelyn Prentis (real name Evelyn Taws) left home at eighteen to become a nurse. She later moved to London during the war, where she married and raised her family. Like so many other nurses, she went back to hospital and used any spare time she might have had bringing up her children and running her home. Born in 1915, she died in 2001 at the age of eighty-five.
