Who d have thought a missing bacon rasher and a teaspoon would play a part in advancing someone s career?It s the late 60s and Jane Yeadon has always wanted to be a district nurse. Staff nursing in a ward where she s challenged by an inventory driven ward sister, she reckons it s time to swap such trivialities for life as a district nurse.Independent thinking is one thing, but Jane s about to find that the drama on district can demand instant reaction; and without hospital back up, she s usually the one having to provide it. She meets a rich cast of patients all determined to follow their own individual star, and goes to Edinburgh where Queen Victoria s Jubilee Institute s nurse training is considered the creme de la creme of the district nursing world.Call Me Sister recalls Jane s challenging and often hilarious route to realising her own particular dream.
