10. New friends

Have you come across the MSN (Microsoft) "Nurses Reunited" website yet ? I stumbled across it the other day whilst I was looking on the web for something else and I was pleased to find the contact details of a ex-JGH nurse in one of its sections.

Perhaps you'll remember Pat du Boulay, who orginally came from St Lucia ? Pat undertook her SRN training at JG between 1962-1965 and then eventually left the hospital in 1965. Pat is married and now lives with her husband in Spain whereas I live in France. So even though we have never ever met we are now in the process of building up contact with each other via regular e-mails.

Obviously we have been sharing news about the paths that our careers led us along and our families but also we are enjoying talking about JGH and some of the things that we experienced there during two completely different periods. It's proving to be real fun talking to an ex-colleague and a new friend and finding things out about Joyce Green that I never previously knew.

You can find that website at: http://groups.msn.com/nursesreunited , although there are not many JG nurses listed on it .... yet !
