  Thank you Sarah, for opening up the possibilities and for clearing up the cross-contamination.
  As to the academic approach now adopted in training nurses I do hope something is done to counter their common insistence on being right, whether they are right or wrong. I have encountered a great deal of 'seminar-speak' which at the very least needs to be diluted with a degree of common sense. I got the impression that hospitals are more used to dealing with people who are mutely compliant and in awe of all things medicine and to be found to be otherwise is perverse. This is all the more common the closer one is to discharge
  At the sharp end, where death is as likely as not, I found the staff to be more open to listening, understanding and learning. Then again those involved there will have had that much more experience and training.
  A nurse is certainly a worthwhile thing to be, but it takes a lot more than the paper qualifications and the uniform.
  It's good too, as I last read of Bern's dealings, that there is a willingness to learn.
