  • Summary

  • This episode of the Irish Nurses in the NHS Podcast Series looks at what it was like to become a nurse in the NHS. Five nurses share with us their recollections of the highs and lows of their training. Mary, one of the nurses interviewed on this episode, talks about her motivations around nursing and how she refused, against her mother’s wishes, to train in a Catholic hospital, run by nuns in Ireland. She arrived not long after the end of World War II and the birth of the NHS. Her training was regimental yet she remembers some comedic moments she holds dear from her time training. Four more voices bring their stories of adjusting to their new lives and their memories of their training.


    Credits:

    Music: ‘Resonance’ by Amala Reidun Schlesinger & Paul de Grae
