Nutty conversation

In the kitchen the family are making dinner as I "worked" today well had a study day on the sick neonate. They are having quite an odd conversation in the kitchen. 
The study day was a little upsetting as that was where I liked working in the nursery but they got rid of me years ago. They started this policy of rotation through all the areas birthing unit the clinic and the ward oh they said everybody will be rotating except only a few people ever got moved, and mostly as punishment for not crawling to the horrible NUM of the nursery. She resembles a rat. I guess I was lucky to get out of her orbit it would have ended in tears working in there. The ward is creepy but not as bad as the nursery. To begin with we are all the rejects on the ward so hardly anyone crawls or tells stories. The thing was I regarded those people in the nursery as my friends but they were just happy it wasn't them being moved no one protested about it they just kept quiet in case they got into trouble. Nurses. 
I think now, too late nursing was a big mistake of a career. Lots of reasons. I guess not that many people get just the right job for them, especially  woman  when I was young, choice of be a nurse or be a teacher, didnt seem to be much else. I think my daughters are choosing the right things and I hope they have the confidence and self belief to move on when they want to. I never did.
