Confessions of a School Nurse - The Confessions Series

After sixteen years of high-pressure nursing, Michael Alexander has traded in his hospital uniform for the fresh air, comfort and routine of an International private school in the French Alps. Bliss! But it''s not long before he discovers that school nursing is not all permission slips, sniffles and gift baskets. Disastrous school trips; after hours dorm sleepovers; awkward sex education classes; culture clashes; swine flu panic; and kids with six-figure bank balances and a taste for bribery. This is nursing as you''ve never seen it before. What goes on behind the gates of one of the world''s most elite boarding schools? What happens when kids from all over the world - Russia, Africa, America, Saudi Arabia - live, learn and grow under one roof? What happens when it''s left to school staff to teach children the facts of life, and lust? Following on from the hugely successful Confessions of a Male Nurse, Michael Alexander is back with more touching, shocking and often laugh-out-loud funny tales of nursing. In Confessions of a School Nurse, Alexander tells all on boarding school life - as a nurse, parent, and Average Joe, he offers a unique perspective on this strange world.
