Sixty Years a Nurse

0/5 ( ratings)

When 18-year-old Mary Hazard touched down at Norfolk Airport to begin her nurse’s training in post-war Putney, she could never have known that it was the beginning of a colourful career that would still be going 60 years later, making her one of the longest-serving NHS nurses.

For Mary, raised in a strict Catholic family in the rural south-west of Ireland, working in her first London hospital was a shocking and life-changing experience. Against a backdrop of ongoing rationing and poverty, Sixty Years a Nurse follows the dramas and emotions as Mary found her feet during those early years. From the firm friends she made under the ever-watchful gaze of the terrifying matron and the sisters, to the eclectic mix of Londoners she strove to care for, the Teddy Boys she danced with and her own burgeoning love story, as extraordinary as it was romantic – these are the funny and heartwarming moments that helped Mary to follow her dream.
