Title: Nurse's dilemma in the private corridor
First published: 1957
Description: The busy day started out about as usual on the fourth floor of the private pavilion of Ramsdale Community Hospital, but before it ended, Bonnie Dunbar, young supervising nurse, was plunged into a series of events which threatened not only the welfare of several patients there, but the sanity of the nursing staff! To Bonnie fell the responsibility for action, a responsibility promptly shared with the young assistant surgeon, just appointed to his job, and by Inspector Cowles of the Ramsdale Police. The situation in the private corridor is not helped by the scheming of an erratic patient with more curiosity than sense, by the presence of a pretty student nurse, and by the fact that the public relations director of the hospital is bound and determined to maintain peace at any price. As Bonnie becomes more and more involved, both emotionally and strategically, in the situation, she actually finds herself in danger. Only a last-minute decision and a quick recovery from a mistake in reasoning save her from trouble and the staff from suspicion. This is an exciting story, with an authentic hospital background. A budding love affair complicates and then expedites the satisfying outcome of a tale that deals with a healthy little child of six and an unpredictable old gentleman of ninety - and all ages in between! -- from dust jacket.
