Description
Nursing at the Horton: A Glimpse into the Past In 1956 to 1962, hospitals were run by nurses, with Matron holding significant authority. This period was marked by a strong sense of community, where patients and nurses formed close bonds. The relationship between them was built on mutual respect, with the nurse's primary focus being the patient's well-being. During this time, student nurses played a crucial role in maintaining hospital cleanliness, and the consequences of neglecting this duty were severe. Despite long working hours, often exceeding 60 to 72 hours per week, nurses found time to socialize and enjoy themselves. This book offers a personal account of life as a nurse during this era, providing insight into the challenges and relationships that defined the time. For those who have experienced hospital care or worked in the nursing profession, this book will evoke memories of the love and respect that characterized the relationship between patients and nurses. While it is part of a series, "Nursing at the Horton" can be read as a standalone title.
