Question

I’m Joan Croft. I must have to say that I came into nursing by chance. I didn’t really like my first job，which was office work. It was all right—but that’s just about all you can say about it. I stayed in the same place with the same people around me all day and every day. Then I became a singer, which I enjoyed very much, but after a while the singing group broke up and I had to start looking for something else.

Some girls have wanted to be nurses ever since they were children, but it never entered my bed until I saw an advertisement in a paper. I wrote in and thought，“〇h，well, I’ll give it a try. ” One thing I liked about it was going away from home.

The training itself is very interesting and most of it is just on the wards,so that you very quickly begin nursing real patients.

I live in the nurses’ home when I arrived and I had my own room, which was very nice. I like nursing more than I ever thought I would. I’ll always carry on nursing. I’ve got a boyfriend who is a doctor,so I hope to get married sometime,but wherever I live there’s sure to be a hospital in the place and there’s a job for a nurse.
