A Funny Thing Happened At The Office Today.....

Now those of you who know me know that I keep a well stocked large jar of boiled sweets in my office, Humbugs, Pear Drops etc etc. These I dish out liberally to students and staff. Its my little eccentricity. Over the years I have often left a note on the jar telling the evening cleaners (who I have never met) to "have a sweetie". Occasionally I have had notes back saying "thank you".

Today I was sitting in my office (door open as always). Outside was a small group of brand new shiney student nurses all laughing and happy - they were waiting to see their personal tutor. I went out with my jar and offered them a sweetie. One young woman looked at me and said "I have had your sweeties before - I love your office".

Lisa Jones had been my evening office cleaner - who left me little thank you notes. She would browse around my Nursing books - and was inspired to become a nurse. Well done Lisa - we are proud to have you with us.

Students are - THE FUTURE

29-7-2014 - UPDATE ON Student Nurse LISA

Today I met Lisa as she bounced down the Corridor - resplendent in her Purple Uniform. Beaming she handed me a letter - written by a patient she had cared for. The letter glowed with praise for the care she had given to the author, a man who had suffered a Stroke. Lisa he described as a wonderful caring Student Nurse.

Well done Lisa - We knew you would do us credit...

Remember - we didn't tell you it would be easy - we told you it would be worth it!
