Friday Nurse Day: Confidential Diary of a Student Nurse

In 1963 and ‘64, Charlton Comics published six issues of Three Nurses. Each issue of this romance comic features a trio of stories, one featuring student nurse Lee Barry, another starring registered nurse Anne Allen, and a final story with visiting nurse Nancy White. Each issue also contained a few text features and the occasional fill in story with Tom Brent. Today I’m going to look at the initial story from the first issue of Three Nurses (which is actually issue #18, as Three Nurses continued the numbering from an earlier comic, Confidential Diary). Friday Nurse Day: Three Nurses #18 “Confidential Diary of a Student Nurse” Lee Barry as always wanted to be a nurse, as she puts it in her diary, “to me the nursing profession is the finest and noblest way of life a woman can achieve!” Unfortunately, when Lee actually starts nursing school, she has problem after problem after problem — she can’t figure out how to wear the uniform, she is unable to manage hospital corners, and she falls asleep in class.
