What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

An intriguing and extremely honest memoir which recounts the diverse, amusing and often shocking experiences of a UK and globally engaged nurse spanning a colourful 42-year career.
The author shares fascinating personal stories and reflections on her loving intergenerational upbringing in northern England, which paved the way for her success as a self-confident and compassionate nurse - despite her parents having different career aspirations for their daughter. She also divulges what gave her the personal strength to keep going when times were hard, the importance of her Christian faith and downtime, and the devastating diagnosis of dementia in the family.
She also reveals how she thrived and survived through the ups and downs of her nursing career, starting with her student nurse days at the Nightingale School of Nursing in 1978. The unforgettable anecdotes and memories of her four-plus-decade-career are presented in seven specific (and very different) spheres of practices and are amusing, entertaining, and emotional in equal measure.
As well as meeting the rich and famous, UK royalty and many global healthcare leaders, she also received awards, nursed all over the world and faced her own personal and professional challenges. These powerful and gripping memoirs will interest a broad range of readers and aspire to inspire those entering or currently practising in the noble nursing profession.
