Book description
As punishment for some youthful high jinks, 16-year-old Jimmy
Frazier is made to volunteer in a London hospital. The experience
shocks him, and he swears he will never set foot on a ward again.
Two decades later, older but not a lot wiser, some strange
twists of fate lead Jimmy back to hospital -- but this time as a
student nurse.
Along with a motley crew of fellow students, Jimmy throws
himself into the heart of the NHS. Whether caring for patients in
children's hospitals, prisons, mental health facilities or
post-surgical wards, Jimmy and his fellow students attempt to make a
difference. On their way they are inspired by the angelic Super Nurse
and the acid-tongued Mr Temple. But can they stick out the three years
it takes to make the grade as a fully-qualified nurse...?
Fresh, funny and poignant, Amongst the Angels sheds a
whole new light on the world of the student nurse.
