The Nightingale Nurses by Donna Douglas

4.0

Book 3 of the Nightingale Girls series spends more time with the individual nurses as they try to reconcile their training, their future and their personal lives in their final year before their State Examination. If they pass, they can continue training as a midwife or other more specialized nurse, or work as a Staff Nurse. But if they fail...

Helen is trying to find her footing as she's torn between her mother and fiance. Millie's relationship seems rocky, but if they can both be honest to themselves as well as each other they may have a chance. Dora has to deal with her brother Peter's Blackshirt membership and narrow-minded hatred as well as her friendship with Ruby, which is still strained by Ruby's manipulations. One lie just leads to another, and lies are both hurtful and can be permanently damaging, as many of these characters discover, but ultimately reconciliation is the goal.

This series is based on true stories from real nurses, and it shows in the small details as well as the patient and nurse stories. I'm looking forward to [b:Nightingales on Call|18241626|Nightingales on Call|Donna Douglas|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1387146792s/18241626.jpg|25687371].
