An Interesting story about life growing up in the 50's. Life Was so different then, almost easier when compared to today. There was a family friend I spent a lot of time with, I always remember watching her polish her white shoes. She was an emergency room nurse and told me many stories. Thanks to Beverly, I realized I wanted to be a nurse. I loved the school I chose, new friends, classmates and the nurses that taught us, instructors and hospital staff. My hope is you will be enlightened about nurses, understand what we did and why we loved our work. Thankfully most of us were able to retired before the change to managed care.
