I know who is who. I'm asking what the problem is with the construction of this sentence; it sounds like there are two people who could the "her" referred to as the student nurse. I've already changed it around and still I'm not satisfied, so I ask again: in reading this, are you led to believe the student nurse is Kay, or Mrs. Reddy? It might sound "mental," but we all have those moments during editing, don't we? ys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
