Just in case you didn’t know 🙂 it’s International Nurses Day, on the birthday of that old favourite Florence Nightingale.
David Cameron and many others have pledged their support
I wonder if any of them would like to come and work with us for a day?
Boadicea's Chariot 
Is that a pig I just saw flying past the window?
I did my bit Pseu, I married one 🙂
bravo, have you been on the bottle again?
Soutie: good move
And hurrah for the nurses!! You have to be a certain type of person to be a nurse. You all look normal enough and seem absolutely fine, then one discovers that really, you’re looking forward to a really *interesting* injury to deal with….
At least, that’s what our practice nurses are like. I sympathised with one for being kept late one evening and she said “Oh it doesn’t matter. It was worth it. This guy has a REALLY DEEP wound.”
Aaaargh!! Rather her than me – and that goes for you Pseu and all the other nurses. 🙂
I could never do your job but it’s brilliant and should be much appreciated that you’re all doing it.
As a matter of interest, who is your patron saint? Best wishes, you have my gratitude and support.
Good for nurses, I say. They do a wonderful job, at least most of them do, women and men.
I remember, with many fond youthful memories, the nurses home of the local hospital and the inhabitants thereof, especially as they were all female then. 🙂
Nurses, bless you all and thank you! I have had cause to be in A&E many times, they certainly earn their wage!
Doctors would be lost without you!
“As a matter of interest, who is your patron saint?”
Saint Vomita of the Blessed Bedpans
Fancy that!
Apparently: Agatha, Alexius, Camillus of Lellis, Catherine of Alexandria, Catherine of Siena, John of God, Margaret of Antioch, Raphael the Archangel
But I like OMG’s suggestion!
Sadly not all nurses do a wonderful job. There are some who do not take their professionalism seriously enough. But thank you for your support. I shall wear it always.
