At the end of Call the Midwife season 12, Nancy\u2019s future at Nonnatus House was in doubt<\/a> after she was offered a nursing role at a hospital in the countryside.<\/p>\n

The main reason behind her surprise decision to look for employment elsewhere was to secure a home for herself and her daughter Collette.<\/p>\n

If she accepted the offer, she\u2019d also receive a place to live that could accommodate both of them, rent-free, which Nonnatus House had been unable to offer her, resulting in mother and daughter living apart.<\/p>\n
