Sue Barton, Senior Nurse

Sue Barton has been at the hospital for two years and was now a Senior Nurse. Sue knew it was the most important period of her career so far, but she soon found she had to cope with a personal conflict. On one hand there was her involvement with her work, and on the other - her feelings for the young doctor, Bill Barry. Working with him so closely in the operating theatre, it was not so easy to concentrate on her work. But was she really in love with him? Matters came to a head on the night of the Christmas Eve Ball. When Bill proposed, Sue turned him down. Then, working on a course at a nearby maternity hospital, she heard that Bill was going out with another nurse. Later, he wrote her a stiff letter saying he was leaving the hospital to go elsewhere. Even her nursing duties couldn't take Sue's mind off her own heartache. Had she made a terrible mistake?
