No John, not really a pity...but a natural progression.
I was 'spent'.........I loved the caring, but was fed up of fighting the bureaucracy of it all.........all I ever wanted was to make a difference to the lives of the patients I looked after.
They tell me that there are still people who ask 'what happened to Sister P?'....and I passed on my skills to the students I taught...I hope I passed on my values too.
After seeing Ma in hospital after her stroke, I know things have not got easier for the nurses....there seemed to be fewer staff, but just as much to do.
I think I did my nursing at just the right time...and got out at the right time too.
I'm pretty sure that Lettie would confirm what I am saying.
