Autobiographical memoir by Sister Eva, wherein the volume's preface she states "This little volume is sent out with the hope that it will afford a means of gaining an insight not only into the work of a nurse, but into the character of the nurses themselves.... During my career both as Hospital and Private Nurse, I have been stuck with the fact that the public know so little of us ... thie idea in publishing this little volume ... [is] to give its readers an insight in the Life of a Nurse, her time, and how it is spent."
