The Beginning of My JourneyI began my nursing training in 1977 in a hospital-based programme in a regional community in Australia.A vastly different era-one of starch caps, rigid ward routines, harsh discipline, a homogenous nursing workforce and a time where the hospital was the epicentre of healthcare delivery.It was a training model of the Nightingale era.
