Rosemary Rowley's autobiography 'The Reluctant Nurse' is a
warm-hearted account of the author's fascinating and varied career
in the nursing profession at a time when significant changes were
taking place. After an education affected by war, Rosemary did not
aspire to be a nurse but had little choice. She trained in
orthopaedic and general nursing and midwifery, then spent five
years in the RAF nursing service. In 1963 she saw an advertisement
in the Nursing Times for a team of nurses to improve the standards
of care in Ankara, Turkey. Rosemary's spirit of adventure
encouraged her to take this opportunity and during her time in
Turkey she was able to see and do things that most young women of
this era would never have been able to experience. "We knew at the
time that we were fortunate to have the opportunity to see so much,
and we made the most of it." Rosemary's charming and emotional
story will prove compelling reading for anyone interested in the
development of nursing in the 20th century.
