[Margaret Pilkington]

Passing the D test to get into Nursing changed my life completely.......and for your faith in me Mr Winterburn........I salute you!
Passing my state finals was also a turning point. Being made a Ward Sister in 1980 was another big change.......being made Senior Sister in 1994..........that was also a turning point.
But the two things that have had the most impact on me were....getting married......and the death of my Dad.
Getting married because it was something that looked unlikely.
Losing my dad gave me a different perspective on life.......material things don't matter so much.......after all there isn't much you are going to take with you in your coffin!
