Nursing in the 70s Part 1 - Introduction
I've been feeling a bit nostalgic recently. I was moved to recall some of my experiences in nursing particularly doing the period when I was a student nurse in Eastbourne during the 70's. Nursing like everything else has changed with the times . Radical educational and organisational reforms within the NHS have resulted in many significant changes over the past 20 years. It would be easier and lazier to say that things were better then, that nurses cared more, that the NHS was better organised, that nurse education was more relevant. I'll try not to do that. All I offer in this account is some of my experiences of that time, the people I met, the situations I found myself in and some insights into the world as I remember it. It was generally an amazing experience and changed my life forever.

Hello Charlie, This is absolutely (having read the subsequent parts to date) superb. Are you going to publish in paper form - if so I want a copy. And, am willing to pay! A superb story so far - I hope that there is a lot more to come. Wilfb. SoN.
