This is absolutely great reading! I am not quite 'old school' but a long way from new grad. I am really enjoying hearing from the 'old school nurses'. My aunt is 91 and is in that category and as she suffers from dementia, she recalls more vividly her nursing school days and ward work as a new grad. I enjoy visiting her and hearing her tales of the way it was. Keep the memories coming and thank you for sharing your stories. I am sending this site to every nurse I know. :tku:
