Bridal Bouquet for Janet

di Karen Barnard (Autore)

Karen A.K. Barnard, 2025

Janet, a trainee nurse, was lucky enough to catch the bridal bouquet in the toss when her friend Patricia got married. This meant that she would be next in line to walk down the aisle. Janet is, however, far too busy studying for her final exams and working on the hospital wards to go out socialising to find a husband. What's more, a social life outside the hospital is actively discouraged. Whilst a trainee and residing in the nurses' home, Janet has to adhere to the stringent rules of the strict Sisters and the overbearing Matron who are in charge of every aspect of the nurses' lives under their care. Such draconian practices were still in existence for nurses during the 1950s. A trainee nurse's life revolves solely around the hospital environment where they live, study, and work. A few nurses, like Janet's fellow nurse and room-mate June, choose to rebel against such oppressive rules and suffer the consequences. When Janet does finally meet, quite by chance, the man she wants to marry, how can she resolve the conflict between pursuing her blossoming romance and devoting her time to her nursing career? Even once qualified, how can Janet possibly have any hope of marrying when being a nurse is incompatible with married life? The expectation was that nurses would devote their lives to their nursing careers, not to a husband and a family. In the 1950's nurses who wished to marry had to seek the approval of Matron and were then expected to leave the profession. Will Janet overcome all the obstacles that stand in her path to pursue the nursing career that she loves and achieve married bliss with the man she loves?
