6d Sister with degree possibly caring for old railwaymen? Answer must be registered nurse (sister with degree) but where does the caring for old railwaymen come in please?

[boxtops]

Perhaps we have to dissect the clue

Sister = NUN
Degree - BA or MA
...... how many letters are in the answer, do you have any already?

[scorpiojo]

How many letters?

Bamberger, I didn't realise how many letters were in the answer (so you already had it) - it helps if you tell us .....
