Probationer. New York: William Godwin Inc, 1932.
First Edition. Barshak designed dustjacket. Extremely uncommon novel of hospital life. "Corridors wreaking with the odor of ether, wards filled with the agonizing moans of people too poor to pay for attention, nurses and doctors laughing and chatting about their own amours while anxious sweethearts and wives plead pitiably for relief, were only incidentals in the life of Josephine James, student nurse, who took her profession seriously. In this intimate story of a hospital nurse Josephine's love for Dr. Rogers, a house physician, survives in spite of the gruesome reality and unnatural intimacy of hospital life." Near Fine but for large contemporary owner's bookplate at front endpaper, in Very Good dustjacket, shallow chips at top spine end.
