Overview

Ruth was delighted when she was accepted into the nursing school at Kingston General Hospital. But she didn't realize how challenging it would be. She quickly finds her skills aren't up to snuff and is sent to build them up as an aide at the local tuberculosis sanatorium. It's 1946, and when Ruth arrives, she is immediately surrounded by crowds of wounded and infected soldiers, women, and children. Ruth must find her way among the dying, depressed, and too-friendly patients, managing demanding doctors and a jealous mentor, without being sent home or infected. Can she impress her seniors and be readmitted to the nursing program she so wants?
