Nurse?That's Me? is the story of Fiona Galbraith’s hugely eccentric journey as a student nurse in the 1960s: from the trembling novice who tiptoes into a weird world full of men in pyjamas, to the confident blue-belt capable of running a busy ward. Professionally written, it's a highly entertaining read, packed with hard-to-believe-but-true events.

So why eccentric, you may ask. The problem is that, along the way, Fiona discovers another talent...as the hospital's arch-practical joker. War is declared with the housemen, not to mention the local police...who give as good as they get. Mischief, mimicry and revenge inevitably lead to a climax of big, big trouble.

Nurse? That's Me! chattily takes the reader into several worlds: of Olympian hard work and matchless patient care; of death and tragedy; of bullying and character assassination unimaginable today. But there's also the world of mayhem: bubble cars in bandages, weeks of water fights, manure on doorsteps, tortoises in teashops, surgical silliness, wind-up phone calls, policeman pranksters and more.

But Nurse? That's Me! is about far, far more than the high jinks: Fiona Galbraith also has a lot to say about both the joy of nursing and the true care of patients.
