Our Lamps Were Heavy

 
 
by Eleanor A. Sinclair
 
 
Eleanor Sinclair opens the yellowed pages of her daily diaries and revisits the three years she spent training at the Holy Family Hospital School of Nursing in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan in the 1950s. She tells of the austere Sisters who trained her, details everyday happenings in the hospital and nurses' residence, shares shocking stories about hospital life, and tells all that it took to earn a gold pin and a nurse’s cap with the treasured black band.
