I miss some of the camaraderie, and the neat starched caps, but am very glad of the flexibility, technology, modern comforts, and the increased scope for compassion and empathy I now enjoy with my patients. I was taught by some fantastic ward sisters (as well as terrified by a few old dragons) and I continue to enjoy training and mentoring students and keeping up with the advances in nursing practice.
