Hi my name is Gaynor and I work on a Care of the Elderly Ward at a Hospital in Yorkshire England. I have returned to nursing after a break to bring up my children. I have found things very different to how they were. Everyone is much more stressed

and has alot more responsibility. The moral is very low and noone seems to have a laugh anymore:hatparty: and where have all the larger than life characters gone? I don,t know what its like where you are but at one time nurses where treated with respect nowe you seem to be the enemy.
On a positive note I am enjoying myself and have found the extended role of the nurse very challanging and interesting. I hope to leave careof the elderly and train to be a midwife in the future. Thanks for putting up with my maon.
