nurse anderson arrives at nonnatus house in series 7 as their first black nurse. she comes from jamaica and greatly misses her family and community. she studied nursing and midwifery for four years in england before joining nonnatus. she often faces racial discrimination but receives support from her fellow midwives. nurse anderson is religious, joining a local black house church after finding a larger, white-majority congregation unwelcoming of her "kind". she sometimes expresses prudishness, such as when nurse dyre asked for her assistance with a sex education class, but she ultimately shows tolerance for the changing times and environment.
