| Comments on most significant event |
After getting married and moving to a smaller town they came to me about being sup. of the 25 bed hospital-my training prepared me to undertake anything. No doctors "on duty"-few RNs, so the nurses did it all from emergencies to deliveries to running a hospital. The kitchen, food, supplies, OR,everything. Then, I learned the "nitty-gritty."
