Season One, Episodes 1 and 2

Standing in the doorway to the kitchen, Sister Julienne smiled to herself as she watched the nurses joking around as they did the cleaning up from dinner. She then headed towards her office to go over the next day's logs, passing by the workroom where Sister Bernadette was preparing instruments and, the sitting room where Sisters Evangelina and Monica Joan were working on handicrafts. Taking a deep breath she walked through the chapel to her office… All was as it should be.

Finishing the day's log and preparing the on call duties for that night, Sister Julienne paused to reflect on the last few weeks before joining the others in the sitting room.

The arrival of two new nurses to our midst, while very welcome has not been without incident. Both Nurses Lee and Browne will settle in well I think.

Nurse Lee seemed so naïve at first, especially with her first encounters at Nonnatus being Sister Monica Joan and her antics and then a delivery with Sister Evangelina , Add the Warren's case, it is a wonder she didn't pack her bags that first week. She sure earned her stripes the way she handled the premature delivery of the Warren baby, how I worried sending her off alone on that foggy evening knowing what might have been the case. There seems to also be a deeper side to her and a passionate one as well, given the case of young Mary and how quickly she became her advocate.

Nurse Browne on the other hand stumbled into our midst rather literally. She seems to be fitting well with the other nurses and it is my hope that as she gains confidence her clumsy ways will fade. She did very well with her first solo delivery being a breach birth. She has also received excellent reviews from Dr. Turner for her gift with patients. I think she will come into her own given time and experience.

Closing her journal, the Sister in Charge paused in prayer:

Oh lord, please watch over this house of your servants, and those we serve. Keep your hand on this…family… as we go about your work. You are our true guide. In your name we pray.

Amen.

Picking up her knitting basket, Sister Julienne went to join the others.
