[Margaret Pilkington]

Nursing in the 80's was(as far as I am concerned) the most rewarding and satisfying job ever.
I was a newly appointed Junior Sister....had high hopes to develop myself and the nurses I worked with......improve the ward and the practices, teach students.....the horizons seemed boundless.
I enjoyed it immensely....it wasn't easy, we all worked hard.....but we were respected and valued...and the patients showed their satisfaction with the service we gave.

Would that we could return to those halcyon days...alas, not possible.
