Description |
Documentary about nurse training facilities in Burnley and District Hospitals. After shots of local attractions and scenery, the film follows the story of a trainee nurse from her application and interview for cadet training through to her work on the wards. She is seen in the classroom, tending to a variety of patients, assisting doctors and relaxing with colleagues. There is a prizegiving ceremony, and the successful nurses pose outside for photographs. Local leisure opportunities are illustrated (including shots of a parade for Burnley's Cup Final football team) before the film explores job prospects and further training. |
