Nursing At Pastures Hospital

A Memory of Mickleover.

I was nursing at Pastures Hospital in 1979. I have fond memories of a strong sense of community and collegiality between the student nurses. I remember the hospital houses and the community that was part of being an employee of the hospital. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the hospital which is a shame, I think.

I was a Student Nurse at Pastures from 1962 to 1965. I finally left in 1968, then working all over the UK. I have many happy memories of those days, and a few sad ones too!

I trained at Pastures from 1977 to 1980 and lived in the Nurses Home for a year. I have dozens of black and white photos which, once I've scanned the negatives in onto my laptop, I'll post up here. I knew Wendy Cundy and remember many who were there training at the same time as me. I learned how to skateboard in the corridors of the Nurses Home and in the grounds!
