Margaret, you were one of the nurses I remember from my youth, nothing like a lot of the ones I've met in the last few years.
One of the things which really annoyed me was when 6 or more of them(why so many?)sat round the night desk, talking, laughing and keeping us awake. But heaven help anyone who rang their bell or shouted for help!
