I can identify well with the situation on nights! I started my training exactly 50 years ago this month and after 6 months was put on nights on wards with an auxilliary nurse as they were known then and a night sister popped on and off the ward during the night to check on you! The auxilliary nurses were brilliant at showing us the ropes and keeping us calm ! Talk about sink or swim! though the sister was always at the end of a phone or bleep. Are there any others on here who started training at the same time? My maiden name was Ahern, I have lost touch with almost all of them as I moved to Derbyshire in 1978. It would be great to hear from anyone who started in September 1971.
