yes Tony then there is the Iron ,telphone computer all sorts of things They dont all have to do with the war I might hastly add :lol:
when I was growing up and even as an adult it seems looking back that Ignorence was really blist
example

when going into hospital we put are selfs in the hands of nurses doctors and surgions.. we relaxed there was no stress we felt pampered..we know by the uniforms that a student nurse had one band around her nurses hat..she was not responsable for medication they mainly made beds done the mandain jobs ect ect thy where respected and loved by the patiants..they know she would reach the next grade through experiance

the next nurse up wore 2 bands and they went around with the fully fledged nurses and the staff nurse to learn to take more responsobilites and to put into practise what they had been taught
the last one was a fully fledge nurse with 3 bands they had passed all the grades she had all the resonsobility except in complecated matters

the staff nurses and ward sisters where the main ones
but the one who was responsiable for them all and the care of the the patients for the smooth runing.and cleanness on the wards was the ward sisters..behind them was matron in charge of them all
because we trusted them all it seemed we got better quicker and where not sent home untill we where better ..xxx I still love all the nursing staff but have no idea who are the nuring staff and who are the penpushers and adminsration ppl

I think youve missed a very important point here Ducky...Did any of the nurses wear Black stockings xxxx :whistle: :whistle:

The answer is yes I wore black stockings all my working life in the care industry:P

Mmmmmm just leave me alone for an hour or so with that image xxxxx;) :whistle: :side:
