Produktbeschreibung
From the first night when they encounter 'screaming girl' and cockroaches in the kitchen, these nurses' know they are in for challenging days ahead! Draughty windows, radiators that won't switch off, food that goes missing day & night and constant noise while enclosed in tiny rooms. Will these nurses' from all over the United Kingdom ever manage the stresses and strains of learning and shift work in a specialist hospital? This sequel to Hurry up Nurse: memoirs of nurse training in the 1970s, follows the author to London in 1980. Here she takes up further nurse training at a hospital in the heart of the capital's East End. The author moves into a nurses' home so expect some antics as she and her new found friends settle in. Hurry up Nurse 2: London Calling is another charming medical biography that includes humour and compassion as you would expect from this author. There is a lot of nursing and medical history to pack in as the experiences are set in a hospital specialising in heart and chest surgery. Cancer chemotherapy is in its infancy, open heart surgery is fast becoming routine and tuberculosis is ever present in the east end so there's a lot to learn. Added to all of this is the enquiring mind of a young nurse who, having been told to avoid the hospital God squad does the exact opposite. There are some lovable characters in this book, from the charming Mr Robinson who sees potential in this lively young woman, now aged twenty-one, to the energetic Mrs Chang, the girls in the nurses' home, the night porter and of course the patients' who touch all of their lives. If you liked the first book in this series, you will love this one.

Autorenporträt
Dawn Brookes is an award-winning and occasional international bestselling author with an MA in Creative Writing. From an early age, she enjoyed losing herself in stories. After a four-decade career in nursing and midwifery, Dawn turned her hand to writing. With over twenty-three novels and more to follow, Dawn loves writing the stories she would enjoy reading. Her keen sense of humour comes out in her writing."My years as a nurse, midwife, and community matron have given me a wealth of experiences to draw from," Dawn explains. "I've seen firsthand how medical situations can quickly turn complex and even dangerous. I believe this knowledge adds an extra layer of authenticity to my mysteries."Dawn's passion lies in character-driven books, films and TV programmes. In her spare time, she enjoys playing golf, watching tennis, reading, travel (especially cruising), and adopting the occasional rescue dog. "I believe there are no limits to what a person can achieve if they set their mind to it, no matter what background we are born into, we should not be restrained by boundaries."
